Goodyear Tires
Denver, CO
This Goodyear Tires store was built in 1969. The unusual building is concave on both sides. The bays are approachable from both directions. I have not seen any other Goodyear stores with this design. [map]

Habib Brothers Oil Company
Walsenburg, CO
This former gas station began housing the Habib Brothers Oil Company at some point. The building was probably built for a major oil company originally. The Habib Brothers also served as a Goodyear Tire dealer. The pole sign originally advertised for Goodyear. The building has been vacant since at least 2007. [map]

Center Tire Store
Center, CO		 Toce Brothers
Torrington, CT
The Center Tire Store may have opened around 1939. [map]

Toce Brothers opened in 1924 as a Socony station, selling tires and offering storage for cars in winter. The building and recessed semi-circular driveway look the same today as in the vintage photos displayed in the office. Toce Brothers stopped selling gas in 1960 but remains as a tire dealership.

Delta Car Connection
Winter Haven, FL
The Goodyear sign at Delta Car Connection has probably been there since the 1960s. I don't know what the original business name was. [map]

Florida Tire (now Pep Boys)
Leesburg, FL
2009: 2020:
This Florida Tire location featured a big tile-covered showroom and service building. By 2013, the building was housing a Pep Boys and the Goodyear signs were gone. [map]

Goodyear Tires
Ocala, FL

2009:
2020:
This Goodyear Tires store appears to be from the 1950s or 1960s. The business is known as Post Office Tire Service. The canopy must have had gas pumps underneath originally. In 2018, the store had closed and the Goodyear signs were gone. The building was still vacant in 2020. In 2022, there was chain link fencing around the property. The pump island and canopy have been removed. [map]

Goodyear sign
Cornelia, GA		 Goodyear sign
Caldwell, ID		 Goodyear
Winthrop Harbor, IL		 Abe & Doc's
Goodyear Service Center
Batavia, IL
This Goodyear sign in Cornelia hangs in front of the Whistle Top Brew Company. The building housed Hulsey's Appliance and Refrigeration previously. While that business was still there, both sign panels had been painted to advertise for Hulsey's. The Hulsey family opened Whistle Top in 2014. By 2019, one of the sign panels was restored to reveal the Goodyear panel underneath. The other side of the sign still advertises for Hulsey's. [map]

This Goodyear sign in Caldwell is located at a private residence. [map]

This Goodyear sign in Winthrop Harbor is located at Wenzel's Automotive Service & Tire Center. [map]

The Abe & Doc's Goodyear Service Center features a nicely preserved, embossed plastic sign. I believe the business opened here in 1961. This sign might be from then. [map]

Goodyear
Topeka, KS
This Goodyear sign is located at a tire production plant. The building was constructed in 1944. Goodyear bought the facility in 1946. This sign might be from that time. It probably had neon originally. [map]

Goodyear Tire
Pittsburg, KS
This former Goodyear Tire dealership was being renovated when these photos were taken in 2010. By 2013, the building was housing Images, a photography studio. By 2023, it was housing the Embellish Boutique. In 2009, there was still a Goodyear sign on the building. This may have been a car showroom originally. Does anyone know what business was here originally? [map]

Gregg Tire Co. (now Kansasland Tire)
Topeka, KS
The Gregg Tire Co. was founded in 1917 and opened across the street from its current location. This building was constructed in 1920. The company began selling Goodyear tires in 1921. These photos are from 2010. In 2012, Kansasland Tire bought Gregg Tire's three locations. The building was repainted brown and beige. It still bears Goodyear signs. For more, see this vintage photo from Ryan Gregg, the great grandson of the original owner. [map]

Rucki & Son Tire Co. occupies the back part of this Napa Auto Parts store. The Napa part of the building previously housed a furniture and appliance store. The Goodyear business had been there since at least the early 1950s. The Goodyear panels were removed around 2020. [map]
