I feel it’s kind of inappropriate, given this situation of closing so many dealerships.
But any old dealerships with existing original owner is always very interesting when it comes to documenting.
If you have your build sheet and know your car comes from that dealership, now is the last chance to go there and get all the information you can.
Furthermore, there might be a lot of old (forward look) documentation somewhere hidden in the building. That is, when this old dealership is still in their original building, of course.
This way, I was able to aquire a set of original dealer license plate frames from the long ago closed dealership where my car was originally sold new. I managed to find their kin and the grandson of t
he original owner still had quite some goodies at home. I paid a good price for it, but it was well worth it.

After DeSoto went out, they picked up Chrysler. I went there when I was a kid and enjoyed it very much.
