Guessing they won't be there long as Liberty has a huge combo dealership on the east end of Libertyville, on Rt. 176 by the Des Plaines River. Plus that just south of downtown Libertyville property, I'm sure, is quite desirable.

In Grayslake, on Rt. 120, just west of Grayslake Feed Sales, stands Rockenbach Chevys original dealership. The building was built in the early-mid 30s. It's now a floral shop, but if you look at the wrought iron fencing in front, you'll notice the bowtie logos in the center of each fence panel. They were there up 'til 5-6 years ago, at which time they moved to the big dealership on Rt. 120 east of town.

And in your hometown, on the southeast corner of Rts. 120 and 31, is the building that housed the Pontiac dealer there. It's now a carpet store. Know where I'm talking about?

I forgot about Rochenbach. I pass that every day!!

And I had no idea that the carpet store your talking about used to be a Pontiac store. Very cool. I always thought it might have been some sort of car building. I love learning history about my hometown!!

Do you remember where L'Ville Toyota used to be on Milwaukee Ave?? I think its a Napa now. As a matter of fact, the building I work in used to be Anthony Pontiac. They moved to Gurnee about 5 years ago and I believe the building was built in the 60's. How many GTO's were sold here??
