Love the Volvo-Imperial photo!
What a contrast!
Would like to see a 2027 version of the Volvo-Imperial, but Imperial has been gone over 45 years.
Chrysler looks like it’s soon history as well.
CJDR-Volvo would be an interesting dual franchise.
In the early ’70s there was some overlap, a 140 was just the thing for someone who wanted something like a Valiant but more so.
Beckman Motors is still there in Mt. Oliver, PA Not a section of town I am very familiar with, but the still exist as a used car dealership now.

From street view, it looks like a facade I should park my MoPars in front of and take some pictures.
One part a the burgh I don’t believe I’ve ever actually been through. Did an internship in college @ “KDKA”. One of the ladies in the office lived there then. ((1983ish))
A Volvo Imperial shot when the dealership says Chrysler Plymouth…..I mean, talk about trying to confuse customers……
I wish I could go back and buy a ’65 Barracuda…..

Durham is in NC, not SC.
Of all the buildings here that I didn’t expect to be still standing, it’s the the McCracken Motor Co. building, but here it is. The location is actually in Carlsbad, New Mexico (there was another company called McCracken Motor in Amarillo, but I don’t believe that was a Chrysler dealer). Anyway, the building is still around, and even benefited from a stone facade at some point.
