Mueller-Harkins Buick Lubricare and Body Shops:
Mueller-Harkins Buick was a family owned dealership which began operations during 1916 in Tacoma, Washington. Today’s lead image was taken on June 6, 1951, in the sales agency’s new, large and well-equipped sales and service building. The business was located at 445 Saint Helens Avenue in Tacoma, Washington, in an ultramodern facility that began operations late in 1948.
The lubrication department was outfitted with a large overhead neon-lit “Buick Lubricare” sign, two-toned metal wall sections, H-beam hydraulic lifts, overhead hose reels for different grades of chassis grease, and roll-around toolboxes for each workman.
