    They’re building a Dodge Jeep dealership I haven’t been by there since April when I took this picture. At one time they were the largest Ford Truck dealer in Northern New England.

    This was the original dealership they open the new one in 1968 and sold the franchise in 2017.

    Auto Mart Sports Car Center was at 800 Santa Rosa Ave in Santa Rosa, CA. The building has not survived. :(

    That's too bad, as that was common architecture for a time in the Pacific Northwest. Several of those old-time Seattle car dealers were in the same kinds of buildings, and though the dealers moved to bigger digs or went out of business, the buildings themselves have been getting renovations over the last twenty years.
