Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion NE1 have NE pics of old car dealerships? NE1 like them?

I dont care what brand, I am looking for pics of 30s 40s and 50s 60s car dealerships. I am seriously looking at an old building with a lot of sq footage, close to where I am retiring to. I have always loved the old dealerships and this was 9SORRY) an old chevy dealership, oer 7,000 sq ft. For the price, If I can afford it, I would restore it and use it as a shop.

It has some decent art deco look to it. I would post a pic to start things off but its on a flash and I cant seem to collect the pics. the realtor is going to send me some nice big pics on monday.

I thought I would ask around as I know many of you out there may have some pics of old dealerships.

This particular building was built in 1946.

I would appreciate any pics you may have or if you know of a link or two. I have found some and am searching for reference.

Thanks Lawfish

Hi Dave,
Look at past "Found Along The Way" features on our Showcase forum. There are occasionally some interesting vintage car dealership photos.

Here are a couple books on car dealerships from Amazon.com

The American Car Dealership http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0760306397/ref=nosim/primarilypetroli

Classic Chevrolet Dealerships: Selling the Bow Tie http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=076031439X/ref=nosim/primarilypetroli

Hope you can swing that project. Sounds cool.
