When Automobile Showrooms were really Showrooms! 1951 Studebaker for Christmas.

 

Thanks to Ed for the photo!

Until the coming of the auto malls, many dealers were very much a part of communities and were located where foot traffic was present. Today one typically drives up to the dealer and one only rarely looks in the showroom, perhaps only when the dealer is closed.

This is a magnificent scene, reflective of an age gone by.
