Mel bought this store, his first about 1975.

 

I don't know. Seems Three Stooges to me trying to put that crate in that way.

 

Luby Chevrolet, Baltimore, MD

 

Keenan Motors, North Broad Street, Philadelphia, Pa. By 1964 or 65 it was selling MG's and Austin Healey. I'm pretty sure the building still stands.

 

Done that...

 

Whatever it is that is a beautiful engine.

 

Push to the middle them come with snowblower, load into dump truck and haul away. Spent some nights in S. Lake Tahoe doing that.

Would the guy with the cats be Clyde Beatty??

 

Nope, that looks like a 38 Studebaker, Clyde died from umpteen bullet wounds in 34.

 

You're thinking of the wrong Clyde...

 

Sad to report that the drive through tree, seen in multiple photos dating back to the early 1900's in this thread, blew over in the recent storms through Nor-Cal. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38561877
