former Perry L. Black Oldsmobile Cadillac
Leavenworth, KS
The Perry L. Black Oldsmobile Cadillac dealership building was built in 1940. The original sign is supposedly underneath the Herken's rooftop sign. The building now houses Flatland Vapes Leavenworth. For more, see this website. [map]

Lewis Chevrolet
Liberal, KS
Lewis Chevrolet is part of the Lewis Automotive Group which was established in 1977 and has four other Kansas locations. This building was still housing Stu Emmert Chevrolet-Buick-Cadillac in 2012. Lewis has been there since at least 2019. Emmert was established in 1972 and they likely occupied this same building then. The dealership was previously known as Hood Chevrolet Buick. I believe this is an older building that received a mid-century, Southwest makeover at some point. [map]

A.B. Hunt's Garage
Liberal, KS		 Young Motor Co.
Lyons, KS
A.B. Hunt's Garage was a Ford dealership and service garage. It was established by 1917 and this building may be from then. The building now houses Southwest Glass & Door. [map]

Waller Motor Co.

The Waller Motor Co. evidently sold Chevrolets and Oldsmobiles at one time. The building also served as a gas station and garage. The "Keeton" inscription on the building might indicate the original business name. The building currently houses Stockton Monument. [map]

Advantedge Quality Cars moved into this dealership around 2000. I don't know what make of cars was sold here originally but the building looks 1950s or so. [map]

former Lincoln-Mercury dealership
Wichita, KS
This building originally housed the Dick Price Lincoln-Mercury dealership. It was built in 1948. The building was occupied by Ray Party Rental when this photo was taken in 2010. The building later housed Clutch Rod and Custom and Dent Busters. The building was vacant in 2017. In 2018, it was housing Shift Auto Society. Does anyone know more about this building? [map]

The J. Arch Butts Packard dealership was built in 1931. The building later housed Lee J. Hobbs Chevrolet which closed in the early 1960s. Since 2010, the building has housed GLMV Architecture.
