1958 was a fine year for Olds!

This is the new car showroom in 1961.

Promotional ash tray from our 50 year anniversary back in 1964. Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, and Cadillac logos are shown above our name and years in business at the time.

Here's one from the late 70's or there abouts of the Service Department. For those of you who've never seen one (car or lift), that's a Chevrolet Vega on the twin post lift.

One thing we don't have to worry about on Lincolnway....those pesky trains. This was in December of '76, right across from the Service Department. Ray Cossman's bug, if memory serves me.....

In the very near future we will be upgrading our D.M.S. (Dealer Management System), a fancy way to say...computer. Pre '70's this was how a parts inventory was managed. One part at a time, one card at a time and there were thousands of parts and cards......sometimes change is good!
