former George Daniels Pontiac, 1560 Van Ness, San Francisco. ca. 1948. Building dates to ~15 years earlier, done in some variant of the "international-industrial modern style" (not art deco in this case) style of the era.
Recall urban dealers were giant, reinforced concrete boxes, big showroom and garage on first floor, the indoor "lot" on second floor with ramps inside building (probably right through that overhead garage door a ways - allowing access to showroom as well from inside).
Another shot of the showroom.

Seems its still there, but remodeled extensively. So, I lose to myself.
