    These photos are of Henderson Ford Inc., which was located at 505 East Huron St. in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and owned by John R. Henderson. They were taken at some point between the fall of 1963 or the spring of ’64. It is not known how long the dealership was in operation, although John R. Henderson died in 1982.

    This image of Henderson Ford City (name changed) dates to March 5, 1967, and appears to be the used car sales lot located somewhere else in the City. Note the two imported Ford Cortina’s in the second and third spots in the lineup on the far left.

    Those oil spots surely didn't do that used car lot any favors for moving their heaps, once they've returned to their spaces after the show

    Yup, if it had an industrial V6, it would have the badge on the hood.
