Most of them closed around here in ‘08 with the government sale to Fiat.

Thanks for sharing, that was great. I still have the clock, parts books, misc signs and memories I was able to score from the attic of one of the dealers I worked at long ago.

The one in my town is still going, after being opened in the 1920s. At current location since 1964.

We just had a local one celebrate 100years of Dodge sales , Seiver Brothers, in Il. After the big deal they sold and retired. It was sad but it was time . Now the dealership was renamed and moved to another town.

Over here, I'd seen numerous smaller ( USA ) dealerships close operations in the Great Recession. And, now all you have is these You-Name-The-Brand-We -Have-It mega-dealerships with their humongous castles built to sell cars.
We have one in a small town nearby that keeps his building up and his sales numbers as well. So far his doors are still open.
