This Ray Vines Chrysler used car dealership was built in 1963. The building may have been designed by Paul B. Clayton. It later housed the R.O. Gould Chrysler-Plymouth dealership. When the 2008 photos above were taken, the building housed Nationwide Auctions. After that, the building housed Worthington Car and Trucks. In 2010, there was talk of demolishing the building. However, the building was saved and adapted for a car wash and the Ren Sushi (now Aburi) restaurant. The sign is gone. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2 [scan thanks Alden Jewell]. [map]
This same style building, now gone, was used by Simpson Buick in Downey, CA. There is an apparently identical building in Las Vegas which was also built in 1963. |
