Remembering Wick Avenue

[Towntalk]

Couldn't answer that question except for W. O. Strausbaugh Co. – Wick at Illinois – Dodge dealership.  Remember that list was based on ads that ran in the 1926 Vindicator ... a couple of years before my time.

Which dealerships were included in the "Wick Six" ?

[Towntalk]

The source: Ads in the 1926 editions of the Vindicator and does not include used car lots not associated with the new car dealers.

Huppmobile, Essex, Nash, Franklin?  I didn't realize Wick Avenue's auto "heritage" went back that far!  I just assumed that the collection of auto dealers on Wick (and the ruins of their paved lots, still there today) was just a result of post-war exuberance.

Today if you're in the market for a new car you have to go to Boardman  (UGGGGGGH!) but that was not always the case
