I've seen some clowns working in gas stations, but they usually don't dress the part.
Note the improvised jack stands.....Milk crates.

Something still "Mopar" there nearly 60 years later.
Cannot tell if anything left of THIS 1960's building, but i'd bet there is some under all that brand box cladding.

I am sure I put this here (maybe) but stumbled across it again
Art Deco, here in 1959, of former Moore Buick,215 E Main, Walla Walla, WA.'
Local records (actually quite remarkable) say it was built in 1917, but the architecture looks a decade or so later. Its been many things in a century or so in existence.

Still there, huge building, subdivided, but largely unmolested facade..

I need to get a sport coat like this one.
No you don't
Smith Motor Co. in White Marsh, MD is the dealership where Medina, my 1971 Monaco, was once sold:
The dealership closed about 15 years ago, its history is described in this earlier post I made when researching the history of the car. The building is still there:

Circa mid 1950's, not architectually distinctive at all. but is an Intenational Harvester-Buick-Goodyear dealer, 215 S Main St., Mountain Home, Arkansas. Kinda off the beaten path.
Building remnants, it was much smaller in 1964 per Historical Aerials, do not appear to be there, now appears to be 5X its '50's size and completely remodeled.
Goodyear finally gone, still auto related business today
