Well, that's the end of the old Chevy car show they sponsored that was held across the street.
When Pasadena closed, I got all the parts catalogs (60), microfiche slides (over 600!) and viewers, and a ton of other jazz.
This dealership (Fortner & Loud, then Loud Ford, then Robert Loud Ford, then several Pasadena Ford's under different owners) had been in business in the same location since the 19teens, and...
They never threw
anything away!
Speaking of forward vision...
Superior Chrysler-Dodge built a huge new multi-million dollar store on Gale Avenue in the City of Industry. They musta bought all the marble that was available, cuz it was everywhere.
Chrysler-Dodge was there about six months, then Superior moved their Nissan store to this location. Chrysler-Dodge moved to the Nissan store that was down the street.
Both the Nissan and the Chrysler-Dodge stores went belly up about six months later. The building sat empty for about a year. Now, there's a Hyundai dealer there.
