Found some MOPAR history by accident today

[mdh157]

This morning we decided to stop for breakfast at a local place on Hanover Street named "Kay's Diner". I'm always interested in the local history so I walked around the restaurant and found some old pics of the place. Turns out it is not the orig bldg that was on the site, current one prob built around 1900 or so, BUT 2 of the pics show it back around 1940 or so and it was a Dodge/Plymouth dealer! I think the name was "Feltrow Motors" based on what I saw in the pic but i'm not sure. There is a wrecker in one of the pics and you can see at least one car inside the showroom.

Going to try to swing over to the historical society this week to see if I can dig any more info up as I cannot find anything online that confirms/denies this. Anyone know of a national database anywhere that might list the dealership? I did find this but it does not list anything:

http://maxwedge.com/dealerships/index.php

 

[mdh157]

Ok, found something........was called Fetrow Motors (no L as I orig had it spelled), address was 203 S. Hanover St, Carlisle, was around until at least 1951. They had ads in the Carlisle HS yearbook.

I love this stuff, found a place 10 years ago that used to be a Caddy dealer but is now torn down, now this, going to see what else I can dig up on it. Will try to find a few pics to post.

Just think....if you had your location in your profile, we'd know where you were talking about.

 

[mdh157]

fixed it.......and found another old dodge dealership:



This one may have been around long enough to order a new fusey from.

[mdh157]

thank you for the kind words gents but i'm not officially back yet......just trying to keep my mind off of things. Jer, I got the shaft of working over the show weekend - freaking midnight shift - but will be over at some point come hell or high water and intend to take you up on that SPG!

Funny part is that the job may be changing to the point of the show weekend being my last work weekend before I go back to a 7-3 M-F sched.........wouldn't that be a *****? My wife mentioned that I'd be able to go to all the other shows the rest of the year - problem is, I could care less abt any of them exc for maybe the fall show.

Nice to see we have pretty good representation from around the globe Fred!

If you had been born 20 years earlier, you would be wishing you were 20 years younger right now.
