Thanks, Bob.

I wonder when that dealer started his Studebaker franchise.

This doesn't look good.... BP

Basement fire spreading up the walls.........the fact that they are taking out valuables doesn't say much for the FD response time!

From the MGM movie "Test Pilot" with Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Myrna Loy and Lionel Barrymore. Remembered watching as a kid with Mom on TV and when I saw it again some 50plus years later, some of the magic was gone because the special effects were not so special.

Thanks for the explanation of this photo. I knew I recognized it from someplace and now having read your post I remember it clearly. Thanks for jogging my memory.

Possibly in the same location, McAuley Motors is still selling cars in Merced, Ca. Currently a Ford/Lincoln dealer. Also has dealerships in a couple other towns in the Central Valley. Still family owned. Don't know the Studebaker history. The sign on the left might be a Mercury sign.
