"Mildred Grover (nee: Bender) was born on June 19, 1917, to Dora and Otto Bender in Barron, Wis. She was one of 10 children. Mildred married Grant Grover. Mildred and Grant moved to Townsend in 1953 from Sacramento, Calif. to become part owners in Grover Motor Company. Mlldred and Grant spent many happy years in Townsend and were snowbirds to California for 20 years before Grant's death in 1998."

Hey Norm,
Today is your lucky day, was just going through my list and found the address, looks like they did change the dealer name at some point which is why I couldn't find it earlier.
Address on my sheet says:
BROADWAY & OAK Townsend, MT 59644. Dealer number is 58240 on my sheet. It also lists the dealer number as 54421. Looks like the building is still there, it is somewhere around 422 broadway.

Hey Norm,
Unfortunately I don't. Have a dealer list circa 1970 so if the dealer closed in the meantime I won't have the address. They probably closed or changed names in the 1960's. A local dealer to me went from a Dodge Dealer to a Dodge/Plymouth/Chrysler dealer in 1972 so they changed the dealer number at that time.
