 Old/Vintage dealership photos....post 'em up« »

Larry's kickass AMC thread got me hankerin' for some old-school dealership pictures. I guess you could say I'm a history buff..I love old pics and newsreel footage...and God forbid you take me to a museum and expect to get out of there quickly.

I searched and can't find such a thread having been done recently. Hemmings occasionally has some excellent stuff ( http://blog.hemmings.com/index...ships/ ) but I wanted to see what TCL has out there.

Bonus points to anybody who can provide 70's or early 80's Datsun or Mazda dealerships. I award you the Internet if you provide some E30's in their original, unsold state.

Couldn't find any pics of Ammon R Smith; best I could do was the Strickler/Jenkins Old Reliable that they sponsored

This was the only other of Ace Wilson's Royal Pontiac I could find

This was where the Pontiac GTO was prepped before its "duel" with the Ferrari GTO in C&D..... Let's just say it's hard to externally tell a 389 from a 421

These photos turned up while I was researching the Nash thread. I love vintage dealership shots, too.

Actually, the full-size Chevys in that shot are all '62s, except for the two on the bottom-center, which are '61s. Just a minor point, but I can't help mydamnself.

I was testing you you passed

Oldsmobile in the top right? this is such a great pic, especially after seeing all of the german and asian parking garages like this. this pic should have it's own ID thread.
