Was it on the same side of the street as Raley's by any chance? I'm trying desperately to remember what was the very first car I totaled and I know I bought it from a heavyset guy at a dealership on Great Mills Road, but it wasn't anywhere near where any of the dealerships are now. I keep thinking Fiat Strada but I have no idea why.
I don't think you were born yet when this dealer was there Gilligan. I'm like 73% positive that there was some kind of dealership on the Raleys side of the street. Might not have been a Fiat dealer, maybe just had fiats there. Hmmm unless it was something else boxy looking that I was driving. Regardless I know it was copper colored.
Does that sound like a fiat strada to you? You're a car guy.
Could be. I'm only 65 and yr...well...
yr...well...what?
I know I'm not crazy, there was some kind of dealership there that had fiats. It was on the same side of the road as Raley's, not too far from what is now Gate 2. My car was not notable, but I distinctly remember a pretty brown Spider with a soft convertible top on the lot simply because I had bent the frame on one of those suckers just a year prior to that. I need somebody old, TPD is just a youngun.
Nope. You're waaaayyy too young to remember a car dealership there. I hear you're younger than Gilligan.
isnt everyone?
Not I unfortunately. I am more immature than him. Does that count?
I don't remember a fiat dealer, but I left the area in July 74 and didn't return until August 86, so maybe there could have been one down there. If its really something you need to solve you might contact the historical society, they should either know or can point you to some one that does.

the poor dad
it was not. The only thing on the same side as Raley's close to car selling was a gas station on the corner of Willows and GMR - a Texaco I think. Rose's was on the other side of Raley's but I don't think you could buy cars there...
Thank you. Just put in for a local facebook group; they might know.
You're on fire tonight!
It’s the tacos.
Oh. They only give me gas; they've never made me funny.

Probably not a Fiat dealership, but rather a place that sold Fiats. Friend of mine in Abell was a Fiat nut and had several.
His name was Tony and he loved to fix them again … and again … and again.
