Good reference for those thinking about a dealer dio.

That was sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!,and not to mention I work for a local Ford dealership and also very cool to see a few dealers I am very familiar with like Bob Gillingham Ford and Graham Ford and also to see a few buildings that looked like some I work at before I made a home with the dealer I am at now...............Chuck thanks for sharing!!!!

Thanks for posting all of the great photos Chuck.Some of those are pricless,showing the now extinct dealerships that had visible top pumps,model T's andand some even had race cars and speedsters in them.Great stuff !

What this should make all of us aware of is that all of these great visual treats are disappearing.never to be seen again,lost to memory.If we really care about this we should start taking more pictures of what we want to preserve.I personally take my camera with me everywhere we travel.Every time I see something really cool I take pictures.If I see what I am pretty sure was a gas station at some point in it's past I'll drive around the block,park and get out if practical to photograph it.I may never see it again.I have taken pictures along the roadside of vehicles that were missing the very next time we went by.

After looking at these old photos ask yourself how much of it still exists and how much will be there in another 50 or 75 years?

If you care about it....Take pictures of it!!

So very true, Tom. Our history- even things that are seemingly insignificant to others, must not be forgotten. It's what makes every locale in America and the world 'round so special and wonderful.

Chuck- great photo set, although a few didn't seem to show up, but it was very enjoyable. Thank you very much for posting this.
