i like this art-deco beauty ... almost all its original brick exterior intact... 401 Washington, Newell WV.my 67 Newport came from here
Was a dealership (C. Hackett Chrysler Jeep Dodge) as late at 2013, so lot of remediation may have been done. Two clear span floors, ample windows (natural light plus, heating/cooling minus), HD freight elevator, interior ramp (entry from exterior) to second floor, etc, Alas, no good way to get a Scenicruiser in there.

The sign is bigger than the gas station. Corner of Monkland and Sherbrooke, Montreal
Looks like it's a sandwich shop now.

I like seeing pictures of cars being unloaded. Note the group watching the new Pontiacs arriving. New model year cars used to cause some excitement. That went away a long time ago.
circa 1959, 809 S. 5th St, Louisville, KY.
Still a dealership today (Ford), though remodeled sometime in the 60+ years since this pic.

N.W. 63rd & N.W. Expressway in Oklahoma City. 1963.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that it doesn't look like this station is still around.

circa 1940, Mercury Motors Pontiac, Jamaica (9801) at 98th, NYC
Nice building, probably $50M (I dunno, I made that up, but it is NYC). Facade still original, but it needs some maintenance work before that stuff starts landing on peoples' heads.
Btw, the elevated train is the Jamaica porton of the Broadway-Brooklyn Line (actually part of the NYC subway system).

March 2025 Detroit.
Designed by Albert Kahn, among the first reinforced concrete factories ever built ... in the world. All thats left of the once mighty Packard Plant (car production ended in the late 1950's when Packard ended as a company.).
This is the north side of I-94. A building remains on the south side of I-94 where Packard built Merlin engines under license for P-51's during WW II). It opened in 1903, 40 acres at it biggest, nearly 4M square feet at the end.

2025: Here, on Grand Boulevard, looking east. The next intersection is Concord Street.
Below, This is looking easterly, the street between the buildings is Grand Boulevard, the left/right (north/south) street is Concord.
2019 below, corner of Concord and Grand Blvd, then the iconic bridge collapsed some after. Looking westerly on Grand Blvd.
below, in the good old days (circa 1940's), when it was still making new Packards, and a ton of other parts of the car, (lotta vertical integration).
I have been watching this whole thing for well over 40 years, and the 10 years I have been on FCBO. DIdn't know anything about it as a high schooler, virtually everything about it now as an old man with a hat.
Great sadness is what I mostly feel. These remaining two buildings are intended to remain, the 40 acres are for sale for development, on the condition the new owner include refurbishment of these two original buildings.
Maybe something cool will come from the Packard site ashes to long suffering (but slowly coming back) Detroit.
