So I knew that my car originally came from Florida. The original owner was in the Air Forcea and passed away in 2001. His sister inherited the car, and brought the car to Wisconsin. My car also has its original dealership sticker.
When I bought the car more of the sticker was visible, I think my Bro in law took some of it off when he waxed the car. But the sticker says Pete Moore Mitsubishi Subaru(that’s the part you can’t see at all any more) Volkswagen.
Well today I decided to lookup the dealership and see where it is and if it’s still in business. Turns out it’s in Pensacola Fl, and it’s still in business but now it’s Mitsubishi Chevy VW. I really have to wonder why they moved away from Subaru.
I think if I ever take the Galant on a big road trip I’ll have to stop by take some pictures of it there, hopefully before Mistu dies out completely in the US.

Dad’s F-150 was from Oakley-Keesee Ford in Memphis, TN. It’s Auto Nation Ford now (I hate it when that happens. Strips all the identity and history away.)

Fun fact: in Irving Texas, the Mitsubishi dealer still proudly flies this enormous Mitsu flag on a tall pole that you can see from far away. You’d think the company is on top of the world.

Somebody removed the dealer badge from my car long before I got it. But not long enough, apparently. The first time I waxed the car, I discovered the super-faint outline of where the badge used to be, and was able to just barely read it, thanks to the faded paint.

Yeah same thing happened locally what was Darwin Ford since the 60s became Ashland Ford about 10 years ago. The founder passed away and his sons decided to sell it.

I hate corporatization (Is that even a word? It is now.) Just makes everything bland and boring.

I had a 93 Honda Civic EX coupe and the dealer sticker on the trunk was UNDERNEATH the clear coat! They must have re sprayed it and before shooting the clear coat, put the dealer sticker on. Also, almost all the windows had a part number I think sand blasted/etched into them.
