Cars of the past



This building serves as the VFW in Lead, South Dakota. It was obviously a fine car dealership, however, offering Hudsons and Terraplanes.

Today, small dealerships of all types are in danger. It hardly seems possible that once every small town had several, let alone that there were so many manufacturers.

Virgin Mary Mural in Salt Lake City

This building serves as an art gallery and a pizzeria.
