Where DID you find this one?
In Pic #1 That MAY be a very young Sammy the "lot man" who did the Dealership Cleaning, Car cleanup, Wash, Wax etc. with the Coke in hand.
The Salesman in Pic #2 showing the '51 4 Door is the Sales Manager Mr. Heisler.
Since this was taken in 1958 I see a White '58 Hardtop against the Showroom Wall and to it's Left in Frank Afton's private Parking spot, in the far rear of the Pic #1 is the driver's window & Windshield of the Black '58 President Sedan that Frank ordered for his personal Driver for a few Months in '58.
Right next to the President is the Showroom Double Doors that the Cars were driven into the Showroom through.
That very '58 President I later in 1969, found on a lot on Melrose Ave. in Hollywood and is in my Garage right now!
Frank always drove Black "Y" Body Cars whenever possible.
In the background of Pic #2 is the wash Rack under the Carport where Sammy worked a good part of the Day, and the Wing to it's Right is the Wheel Alignment Shop, to it's right would be the Body and Paint Shop out of the Picture.
AWESOME, Awesome, awesome!
These are the ONLY Pics I have of the Dealership Dad was a New Car Salesman at, in Inglewood, Calif. from '55 to '62, let alone my Car when it was NEW!
