Mena, AR
This former Studebaker dealership was built in 1948. While many websites credit the designer as Frank Lloyd Wright, that is a myth.

The building has some restored Studebaker cars on display inside now. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building across the street shown in the bottom row on the right above was evidently also used as service and display space. It might have been built a few years later. [map]
