Vintage Dealership Photos....
I dont know if this was ever done before but I thought it would be a good topic to start.
I will post some old dealership related photos and if anyone else has any that they want to share feel free to post. A far as being brand specific, I wouldnt say Ford only cause sometimes you cant find old Ford dealership photos so this will be open to all dealerships or carlots.
Here is the first photo
This is the Ford Motor Company Plant at 3906 Harrisburg Houston Texas
Ford Display at the Rice Hotel 1928 - Showing off Ford`s All Steel Construction
Houston Texas Radio Special - Date Unknown
Ford Dealer's Radio Special - Hearman Park Houston, Texas
This next photo is of the dealership my 56 Fairlane was bought new from.
Ivy Russell Authorized Ford Dealership - Yale & 11th Street Houston, Texas - 1958
These next two photos are two views of the Dallas Ford Plant. Where my 56 was built at.
Yenko Chevrolet Dealership
Car Giveaway at Houston Buffs & San Anonio Game - Jack Roach Ford - Date Unknown.
I have many other photos but these are the only dealership/factory related ones I currently have.

News paper article on Wreck
It was May 1, 1959. George Bell, a 25-year-old Mexia salesman, was driving into Houston on the "new Dallas Freeway" ( U.S. 75 ) when he crashed his Buick through a barricade on Airline near Crosstimbers. The above photo shows where his car landed.
The rest got cut off in the description but he saw the barricade and hit the brakes but the freeway speed (60 - 65 mph) caused his car to slide on the loose gravel to where it stopped in the photo.
It seems I left a few photos off.

2. Didnt obtain my photos from your website. They were obtained from Houston Historical messageboards as well as my searches online from sites like photobucket to yahoo and askjeeve photo searches.
3. Cant delete them since the posts are over 1 year old and theres no way for me to edit such an old post. Not that I would.
4. Cant credit you for the source of the photos because I didnt obtain the photos from you.

I have some photos I havent posted before, Just got done going through his site to verify that the photos I planned on posting arent even on his website to prevent any further issues. Hopefully posting these dont cause any more claims of copyright issues since these were all obtained freely from multiple sources from public library archives down to historical soceity messageboards.
Automatic Car Wash - 1920`s
US-59 Traffic Jam - 1962
Near League City - July 1956
Gulf Freeway - October 1958
610 Westheimer - December 3, 1964 (Joske's department store can be seen at bottom right corner)
And last one im posting now is of the automatic car counter taken in 1948 - 1949
I know as a fact these shouldnt be an issue posting them, I know he doesnt own these nor have these. These I obtained from the highway department for Texas which is one of my sources.
