History Dealership where the Ranch Wagon was purchased

I ran across this photo of the Ford Dealership where my wife's grandmother purchased our '54 Ranch Wagon off the show room floor,the photo was obviously taken in 1957.



The building still exist and has housed several different businesses over the years and has under gone several facade changes along with some demolition.

As the building stands today. HRP

 

very cool!! Hope you are getting better!!

 

Thank you,yeah I'm improving and as soon as I can drive stick I plan on recreating the photo by parking the wagon in front of the building

Cool...

 

when the photo shoot day comes see if you can line up some more '54 Fords to be there

 

You know that's a good idea,I do know another guy here in town that has a '54 Ford and he usually shows up at the downtown Fathers Day next month.

I'll talk to him about it,the old dealership is just 6 blocks away, Thanks again.HRP

 

You have the car, shouldn't you really buy the dealership garage to go with it?

You know, the original packaging

 

I never thought about that but I owned a business downtown up until 2004 and the property taxes were a deciding factor in my retirement and subsequent sale of my building & land.

Knowing how building and codes work here in my home town I would be required to bring the property up to current codes,that would be the nail in the coffin. HRP

 

Heck, I could live there. Looks like plenty of garage space and room for a bed. What else does a car guy need?

 

Bought new place the other day. Eight car garage. fully insulated, running water, heated and cooled, three phase electricity - the whole ball of wax.

I think there's a house somewhere on the property too.

 

Man that's cool. America at its finest.

 

Very cool - but even cooler will be the next picture with your car (and others) parked in front!

cheers, Ray

 

Nothing. That's where I live now.

 

Al

ong with that, I'd photoshop the ranch wagon in front of the original building. Only thing is, it looks better than a new car.

 

Thanks Tim,the photoshop deal would be cool but I am totally inept when it comes to that kind of stuff.

Once again Brenda & I enjoyed meeting you and your lovely bride and on your recent trip to this area. HRP

 

The moose would do it for you. He painted my cabrio green and put a top on it.

 

Conversation piece...

 

Thank you so much,this put a huge grin on my face,I know Brenda will be stoked! HRP

 

Ask and you shall recieve

 

How about that,and all this time I thought the Moose was a guy,after checking out the web site I was pleasantly surprised to find that The Moose is a extremely talented Lady. HRP

My wife will be surprised to here that.... Daughter is the graphics artiest , I just play with it.

 

Sorry Moose, but we'll let you use our restroom anyway.

 

Sorry about that,thank you sir for the photoshop work, HRP

 

If you could get a line up of a few cars the same model and earlier, it would look great, too.

 

You bet! that would make a cool photo. HRP
