This place is pretty untouched.

Ah, yes...back in the days when the men that worked on cars were MECHANIC'S NOT TECHNICIAN'S.

Any other mopar stuff?? I am a big time mopar guy ! The chevy stuff is cool to but it does not get my juices flowing like the Ma Mopar

I have a lot of digging to do to even see what's there. Stuff piled 8 feet high

How about some backstory information??

Some more pieces from a family owned dealership in Ohio.

The 1942 Marathon book gives the lubrication points for almost every vehicular from The year in very detailed diagrams��

Count me in as one of those that would love the history on this and how you came across it. This is the car guy equivalent of El Dorado.

Are you gonna share a story--or just sell the wares that you mysteriously came into possession of.. You have to put some background..

 

[Darrin88]

I came across this dealership by chance. I was in a small town in Ohio at a fundraiser for a close friend who had cancer. I needed to get some fresh air so I went for a walk. I saw a few old cars parked around me this old building that looked really interesting because I like to do some picking in my spare time. I knocked by no answer. I walked another few blocks and came back and to my surprise theee was an old gentleman walking out He had his Vet hat on and treated me with a hello. I told him the builder my and cars intrigued me. He told me his dad ran a dealership that closed in the late 60's. I told him I'd love to take a look sometime. I gave him my card and told him I'd buy him lunch if he gave me a tour. He called a month later and here we are 7 months down the road and he's decided to start selling. He has 4 building packed with treasures. He wants me to help him liquidate 95% of it. I'm going through the front part of the shop now and buying what I want. I'm also boxing up stuff to start selling. I'm excited to see what I find. The parts room has a lot of NOS.
