By 1937, the building was housing a Firestone store. It operated as a Firestone until at least the late 1970s. It housed Discount Tire after that. The building has housed Rick's Service Center since at least 2008. [map]

The Bristow Motor Company was built in 1923. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It originally served as the Bolin Ford dealership and service center. Bolin Ford is now located just up the block. Model T Ford wheel designs appear on the four corners of the Bristow Motor Co. building. [map]

The Beard Motor Company dealership was built in 1947. The Chrysler Plymouth sign is probably from then or the early 1950s. The building, now vacant, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [map]

Hedlund Motor Company
Elk City, OK
This former Hedlund Motor Company building was built in 1918. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was originally a Ford dealership.

former dealership?
Enid, OK
This vacant building appears to be a former dealership, probably built in the 1940s. Does anyone know the history of the building? [map]

Jensen's of Fairview
Fairview, OK
Jensen's of Fairview was established in 1931 as a Case tractor dealership. Jensen's began selling Buick, Pontiac, and GMC in the 1960s so those signs must have been added to the building then. I don't know when the Jensen's sign was built but the building might have been built or remodeled in the 1940s. These photos are from 2011. In 2012, the Case Eagle statue was stolen. [map]
