Expert Posts: 4134 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Connecticut | There is no 7-11. It's likely where United Auto Parts is now. Right on the corner, across from the Green (where there is a great monthly cruise nite). This could also explain the multiple address situation. Ron | ||

Google maps had taken me to Marlborough. The owner of the dealer was named Bernard Schuster. The dealership was not mentioned in his obit but he had a trucking company in Colchester until 1983.

In 1958 it was Schmidlapp Motor Car Co., DeSoto Plymouth, they also dealt in imports. They appear to be the first ones there. In 1961 the dealer at that address is Glover Motor Co. Then in 1963 it's WM. Lehman. Then in 1965 it's Boat Discount Center. Then in 1967 it's Pete Thorne's Volkswagen City aka Pete Thorne Auto Brokers. In 1969 it changes again, now John Gravel's Autorama. In 1970 it's Jeep of Pompano. Seems to be a cursed location. The building is still there and is a used car lot. The right wing off the showroom is gone though. Edited by NicksGarage 2021-10-20 5:58 PM (Fort_Lauderdale_News_Fri__Jun_27__1958_.jpg) Attachments ---------------- ![]() | ||

Render & Son and they show up from 1955-1957 as a DeSoto Plymouth dealer at 216 S. Federal Hwy in Pompano Beach. In 1958, they are selling Fiats as well. Looks like they are the ones that built that new building but soon after sold it to Schmidlapp even though their ads show the address to be 1001 S. Federal Hwy.

Member Posts: 32 ![]() Location: Whitewater, Ca | I recently bought an exact copy of my very first car; a 1966 Barracuda. In the back of the owners manual is the transfer of ownership form. It was a Chrysler company car for 8 months until it was sold at Young Motors, located in the 700 block of Fredericksburg, Virginia in Jan. of 1967. The region was 35, and the dealer number was 8405. I did a quick look and didn't see this info in the thread. | ||
