Woodworth Motors
Andover, MA
Woodworth Motors was established in the late 1940s. I don't know when this dealership was built. It appears the wooden Chevrolet piece was added to the Cadillac sign at some point. The Shawsheen Garage (right photo) is located behind Woodworth Motors and is owned and used by them. The Garage was built in 1921. The dealership is now known as Bill Deluca's Woodworth Chevrolet Cadillac. [map]

Ford of Greenfield [gone]
Greenfield, MA
Ford of Greenfield had occupied this building since 1954. This dealership was built in 1930. The carved terra cotta panels depicted the history of transportation with covered wagons, trains, airplanes, and automobiles. The panels were created by Bernard Dirks. These photos are from 2011. In 2015, the building had been demolished so that the dealership could build a more modern building. The six terra cotta panels were saved and donated to the City. There are plans to incorporate them into the design of a new parking garage in town.

Ira Dodge was founded in the 1970s. This building originally housed a Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln dealer known as 1400 Motors, a reference to the address. These photos are from 2011. The building had been vacant since at least 2004 and remained so in 2015. By 2017, the building had been demolished.

This round Cadillac Village dealership appeared to be from the mid-1960s. This photo is from 2011. The building was demolished that same year and replaced with a new dealership. It is now known as Cadillac of Norwood.
