Might be here already. If so, sorry -- especially if I was the OP.

Former Pierce-Arrow showroom, 2421 Main Street at Jewett Parkway, Buffalo, NY. Later, a Cadiillac dealer, then a series of banks, now a Keybank (with a vintage P-A inside the bank).
Excerpt
"This former Pierce-Arrow dealership is an Art Deco beauty built in 1929.
The building was used to detail cars with walnut trim and gold inlay before they were shipped to customers in the 1920s and 1930s. Pierce-Arrow went bankrupt in 1938. It later became a Cadillac dealership.
In 2002, the Greater Buffalo Savings Bank renovated and moved into the building. It was a First Niagara Bank branch when these photos were taken in 2010. The building now houses a KeyBank branch.
The magnificent interior has been preserved and an antique Pierce-Arrow car sits next to the banking desks"

Some Albert King seemed appropriate for this post..
GMC Truck assembly line 1920s
1948 Chevy line
Somerville, Mass Ford plant.
Final assembly of Shelby Mustangs
My brother had one of these back when they were just another car. The top didn't work when he bought it so he tore the miles of wiring harnesses out and fixed the problem
Wonder if this guy is looking at his paycheck....

The difference in the firewalls caught my eye. One must be for an A/C equipped car.
