Daytona Beach:
former Spence Chevrolet

Coggin GMC-Pontiac [gone]
Jacksonville, FL
This former Coggin GMC-Pontiac dealership was built in 1969. I don't know if that was the original tenant. The property has been vacant since around 2008. This photo is from 2021. By 2024, the building had been demolished and a gas station built on the site.

former Tomlinson Cadillac
Lakeland, FL
Tomlinson Cadillac occupied the first building shown above by 1946 and I believe that they were its original tenant. The building in the second photo was probably built before that. In 1980, Tinney Cadillac took over the location. In 2002, Boring Business Systems, now Boring IT & Print Solutions, moved in. The building in the bottom row is next door and was also part of the Tomlinson dealership. It may have been built at the same time. [map]

Lighthouse Point, FL
This building at Sheehan Buick GMC was built in 1966. [map]

Pomeroy Overland Building
Miami, FL
The Pomeroy Overland Building was built in 1927. It was a Willys-Knight and Whippet dealership. The building was restored in 2018. [map]

South Motors [gone]
Miami, FL
South Motors was established in 1956. I believe these three hexagonal buildings were built in 1962. These photos are from 2020. The buildings were demolished in 2021 and 2022.

former Munroe-Zeder [gone]
Miami, FL
The Munroe-Zeder dealership was built in 1947 and sold Chrysler and Plymouth cars. The building last housed Teatro 8, a Spanish-language live performance venue. It was demolished in 2023. For more, see this website.

former Nolan-Peeler Motors
Miami Beach, FL
The Nolan-Peeler Motors dealership was designed by Carlos B. Schoeppl and built in 1929 as the "Cadillac Salon." The dealership had moved by 1942 and the building's bas-relief sculpture had been covered up by then. It was uncovered and restored in 2020. The building now houses a Guess clothing store. [map]

former Chrysler Motors
Miami Beach, FL
This Chrysler Motors dealership was designed by T. Hunter Henderson and built in 1929. For more, see this website. [map]
