Curious about the building, what year was that built? Its got a touch of art deco?
Are new owners going to use it, or tear it down? bawling
With all the Floridians moving to Tenn, I surprised they haven't yet built a wall. grin


1921 it was built to be a Dodge Brothers dealership but never opened as that, don't know much between then and 1944 when it became a DeSoto dealership then Plymouth and Chrysler until 2009 when a certain President decided there was no room to let dealers for Chrysler make money anymore... mad


Wow, maybe we should started a Moparts go fund site to save it, thats a very historic automobile building, especially for this crowd IMO, I hope it gets saved intact, and not a new location for a Wawa?

My recollection of the dealer trimming in the 08 recession is different, I thought its was an underhanded scam by corporate to prop up their favorite dealers, I never understood how it was more profitable for Corporate by reducing number of independent franchises, although it was popular to blame everything on the person in charge at the time.


The odd thing is every single franchise closed was Republican owned except one. Corporate had nothing to do with it as I recall, it was Obama's team that made the decisions .


I seriously doubt that conclusion, unfortunately in today's climate, accuracy is no longer a virtue, and I am not directing that you as so much as maybe your source.
If so, it is IMO highly questionable and likely illegal. Im sticking to my earlier stated suspicion, corporate wanted to favor select dealers with greater market share.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
