Here's a web page I made that shows scanned images of the article about
Rivard Brothers Ford that appeared in the May 15, 1937 issue of
"Ford Dealers News".
Claude, from what you've written, am I correct in assuming that the building occupied by the Rivard Brothers Ford in 1935-1937 must have been on the southwest corner of McNichols and Van Dyke?
The article also mentions that they had since
"taken over a competitive gas and oil station across the street to meet the demands for additional space", including a used car lot. Where do you think that gas and oil station was located?
It also states that the used cars were
"kept in 'R. and G. shape' ready for demonstration and immediate delivery". Any idea what "
R. and G. shape" meant?
I'd be very interested in seeing any of those old photos you have!
