| former Vandergriff Chevrolet dealership Arlington, TX |
|
 |
 |
|
This former Vandergriff Chevrolet dealership was built in the mid-1960s. The building has been demolished. However, the sign was saved and installed in Vandergriff Park in 1996. It was painted black when these photos were taken in 2011. It was repainted the original dark blue after that. The original round Chevrolet sign panel revolved around the "V". For more, see this website. [map]
The original Vandergriff dealership building from 1928 has been restored. |
| former Weatherby Motor Co. Brownwood, TX |
 |
| The Weatherby Motor Co. was established in 1912. I don't know if this was the company's original location. The company advertised this building as "Ford Square". The company was selling Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury in the 1950s and 1960s. These canopies appear to be from the 1960s. The company operated there until at least the 1990s. The building now houses Harris Broadband. [map] |

| former dealership Caldwell, TX |

| This building appears to be a former dealership. It probably also had a gas station. It appears to be from the 1920s or 1930s. When this photo was taken in 2011, the building housed K's Cafe. By 2013, the main occupant was Porky's Bar-B-Q. By 2016, Porky's was gone and the space was vacant. [map] |
