Automobile Dealership, Dawson
The faded signs on this building indicate that it sold furniture but D. A. Bolton writes that it was built as an early automobile dealership. He notes that the service area was on the second floor and cars were lifted by a large lift that’s still intact today. After the auto dealership closed, it was a John Deere dealership for a time. The furniture business here was short lived and apparently the last tenant.

Automotive Storefronts, Waynesboro
Rob White writes: The white building just visible in on the left side of the photo was once Chance & Hopkins Chevrolet. The “ghost’ of the lettering is still visible on one of the showroom windows. On the right end was a filling station that operated as a gas station until some point in the late 80’s and into the 90’s.

Old Ford Dealership, Adel
I always thought this was an old theatre, but thanks to B. Sutton, I now know that it was originally a Ford dealership and was later O. P. Fausett’s Phillips 66 station.

Abandoned Store, Leary
Milton Kidd notes that the building pictured here, before it was rented out for other uses, was originally home to Bill Sheppard Ford, one of the many small-town dealerships around the country that thrived when economies truly were local. It think it was last used as a convenience store.
