Vintage shots from days gone by!

As we take one last look, a few notes about the brands not on display. Both the Dodge and Buick franchises were in flux, but Paul Jones Dodge and Sullivan Buick would soon be fixtures. The Rambler dealer’s absence was easy to explain – the franchise was literally downstairs, on the ground floor of the dance hall. And there hadn’t been a Studebaker dealer in town for years, although the old dealership building on Walnut Street is one of town’s finer remaining buildings.

These old photos are all from around the Louisville, Ky. area. 1920's and up. Can't figure out why they duplicated. Louisville, was and still is home to a major Ford plant.

The old Meir & Frank parking lot! You could fill 'er up when you parked! I remember it well!

 

It is displayed at the Canadian War Museum's 3rd Gallery as Hitler's car. Note that the damaged front passenger's window was kept.

This picture deserves a large version!

 

Front fender damage caused by unfit lifting ropes. Not very clever!

 

From the height of the front end it looks like they have taken the engine out and just dropped the drive shaft on the ground.
