Regular Posts: 94 ![]() ![]() ![]() | Yes, Tekoa WA. They closed in 1980. This was their "yearbook" photo in 1956. Dealers would put ads in the local High School Yearbooks to try and get Grads to buy a new car. I have that "TEKOA MOTORS" sign in my shop. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1062 ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: PL / EU | Guys , in attachment updated dealership list. If you are looking for a dealer number, you can find it here. Over 2200 individual numbers, you can sort it alphabetically or by numbers. This list includes the 1950s, 60s and 70s. Pay attention the note in the upper right corner. Also on the right you will find region number list. Have fun. picture is for attention only ![]() Edited by RDP 2022-11-06 3:09 AM Attachments ---------------- ![]() | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1062 ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: PL / EU | Here is my other dealer list (you can download from the attachment). Here you can find the names of the FL era dealers (1955-61 only). This list does not include dealer numbers. You can sort it as you like, e.g. by city or state.

However, I did not find the Storm Lake, IA dealer that George B's 56 Dodge was delivered. I found another Storm Lake dealer but not George's car's. I did not find the dealership that Tim Dupont's 56 Dodge D500-1 was delivered to. So hit and miss. ![]() ![]() Edited by 56D500boy 2022-11-06 12:32 PM | ||

Veteran Posts: 105 ![]() Location: North Germany | I have now received my build card from Danielle, very interesting. My NY was shipped to Stephen Butcher Hazelton PA ( No. 56209 ) . Is also in the list of RDP ). I wonder if anyone has any contemporary pictures of the dealer ? It is so nice to see how the dealers still took their job so seriously. How the dealers and the new owners were so proud of their new family member. Today you don't want something like that at all. Preferably all inclusive leasing , after 2 years throw away and the next soulless consumption car . | ||

Older vehicles definitely needed lubrication more often than our Forward Look cars. It would have been interested if they had included what vehicle needed this reminder. Of course, they may have still sent this to owners with cars that didn't need that frequent lubrication just to drive some extra business. | ||

New User Posts: 1 | RDP - 2022-12-10 8:04 AM Thank you RDP, for posting that. Leo Adler, Detroit MI, - the Desoto Dealer List shows three locations: 13800 W. Seven Mile , 7379 Woodward and 3101 Fenkill. I belive one of them is in the picture. Liccardi Motors, 425 Park Ave, Plainfield NJ My dad, John J. Forbes Sr., worked at the Leo Adler dealership at 13800 W. 7-Mile Rd, in Detroit. I'm not sure of the exact years he was there, but I do have some idea...
Pictures might work, fingers crossed!

Those cloth covered wires were never as good as the newer vinyl plastic covered wires. Every one of the '55-'56 cars needs a new wiring harness installed into them now. | ||
