This popped up in a local Facebook thread. AF Ryan in Oneida, NY.
Their used lot was across the street.
This may be a previous location or their other location in Rome, NY. They also had a dealership in Manlius, NY.
The Oneida dealership burnt in 1972
Vacant lot now. I've read it is a considered contaminated, but don't have any details. The Google car didn't drive all the way down the street it was on, so no current pics and I don't think the building for the used car lot is still there.

Albion, Michigan 1944
Stumbled across one more by accident, and discovered an interesting, known history.
202 W. Main, Northville MI.
Built 1935, "art moderne", I woulda tried to own this. Was born a Gulf corporate 1930's "icebox" design, then a Sunoco, then a Chrysler dealer, and other stuff (barber shop, dry cleaners, etc).
There were additions to enlarge it along the way (they built away from the street and deeper into the lot), but they kept the curvilinear streamline facade intact.
It is 7,000 sq. ft. now, but was born about 1/3 that size.
Alas, I would have needed a PowerBall jackpot to get into/hold on to it. Renovated 2012, somebody poured buckets of dough in it, and now the "Garage Grill & Fuel Bar".
