Canada's first and oldest Dodge dealership is Gardner Motors in Sudbury Ontario. This is where my V code was ordered new in 1969. Attached is a short write up on Gardner Motors that some may find interesting.

Westport Chrysler Plymouth at the west end of Portage Ave in Wintry Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada....
Where my AAR came from..... :banana:
Bought my 'Cuda in 1973 at a Plymouth dealer in Santa Ana, Ca.
Have racked my wilted mind for years and cannot come up with it's name.
Wish I had taken a picture back then.
I would like to find an old photo of Normandin Chrysler Plymouth from 1971.
This one was fairly close to me.
The Dodge dealership which I have known for years is "Moss Motors Dodge" and now is "Moss Bros. CJDR". This dealership is located in Riverside Ca.(I live 3 miles from them, here in the same city).
The small dealership was started by "Red" Moss Sr. in Blythe Ca. in 1921 moving to Riverside Ca. in 1938. In 1965 land was purchased by Red and a few other owners of various dealerships in the Raincross section of Riverside. They formed Riverside Auto Center, billed as the worlds first Auto Center. Where you could go to shop conveniently for any type of car you wanted. They are to this day still in business as of course Moss Bros. CJDR, Auto Groupe. They own several other auto dealerships under the leadership of Red's son Glenn.
I bought my first Challenger from this dealership, a 1970 model car a used trade-in with 40K on the clock for $1,100.00. Still have it but now has 562K miles behind it.was my daily driver from 1972-2005. Since then I've purchased a couple of other cars from them. The pics are of the dealership in 1965 and later pics. The last pic is the front end of my Dodge showing the early dealership license plate frame and ad insert (which are hard to find nowadays) this gives the car roots. Thanks, Al
Here is another picture of Canada's first Chrysler dealer located in Sudbury Ontario. Notice the old cars in the showroom.

As you know the family is still heavily involved in the dealership and have been for well over 100 years, I'm sure if you go down and talk to them they can dig up pictures from then.
Dvs cycles, that Chrys Plymouth dealership in Santa Ana Ca. You were wracking your brain over maybe could have been, Mc Peek Chrys Plymouth. I owned a '71 340 Duster 4 gear car that was originally bought at that dealership. It's still in operation as I text. Thanks, Al
Yes! Thanks for that. Now I can use those brain cell for a better purpose. Tequila time. :cheers:
A few more vintage dealership photos.
I remember going to the Cain dealership to order parts and seeing Hemicudas and lot`s of other nice street and race cars in the service area, most owned by the dealership.

Zombie thread revival... I can't help it. I'm from Tulsa and I remember these ads. That Roadrunner is awesome and there's a white Gran Coupe so it qualifies for this site
Any "Vintage" Mopar dealerships still open in northern Ohio? Every clue on my car says it spent it's entire life around Cleveland. I can trace it (70 RT) back to '76 there and those records seem to point to it being there prior. Just trying to do some detective work.
I have a 1970 Challenger Sales brochure and a 70 Dodge scat pack brochure from San Leandro Dodge in California and a 70 Challenger sales brochure from Brentwood Dodge in Burnaby BC Canada.
Interesting that the US and Canadian brochures are totally different, the US one has a Purple Challenger black vinyl top with a girl sitting on the trunk, in side the front cover, the Canadian one is a red Challenger with black vinyl top with a girl sitting on the ground.
The only older picture I have of a dealership is from a car show in 1987 from Erie, PA at Gary Miller Chrysler Plymouth.
My car show at Freedom Dodge, Lexington Kentucky, somewhere in the 70's.
