Owned by automotive repair place next door. Stanger, Inc. Trucks were parked in front the day we visited. But got some decent pics.

No longer a car dealership. When we stopped, a nice gentleman came by with a brochure of the history.

Continues as a car dealer. Very nice structure, a piece of history worth viewing.
