Photos of Vintage Auto Dealerships, Repair Shops, and Gas Stations

Can't find this building, it is (was) somewhere in west-central Kansas (Garden City, roughly near Grant Ave. at Main Street per some sources).

Dealership belonged to the Walters brothers. They were a Chrysler, Plymouth, and Dodge dealer.

Raimon G. “Bud” Walters, Jr. died with over 400 cars, and they were all auctioned back in 2018. Some might have ended up belonging to members.

EDIT: Some added info about this picture:
According to an article in the Tennessean Newspaper:
"Robert B. Ray stands in front of his newly-purchased property, Central Rambler, Inc. at 1500 Broadway in downtown Nashville on June 16, 1964. Central Rambler, establish in February last year as Nashville’s third Rambler dealership, was sold by Jess L. Sanders Jr., who now has open Empire Motors, a used car business at 1619 Broadway."

Looks to be a parking lot now.
