On Shorpy:
Today’s Top 5

Auto Row

Used car lots are still found along that section of Broadway which is commonly called Auto Row. I live a couple miles away and usually have my car smog checked right across the street from the photo location.

Oakland Auto Row

The present day next door neighbour is the Bay City GM Auto Mall, on Oakland's Auto Row.

Let's have a closer look

I believe I spy a 1935 Packard just below the office sign.

Summit Alta Bates

Just above the ED in USED, far left, can be seen the top of what is today the Summit Alta Bates Medical Center. Also of note, behind that '33 Willys at far left, is a 1932 Ford five-window coupe for $175.

Good Tailor

They both have excellent brakes in their trouser legs, something that is a little more rare today.

[I think it's the cars that have the brakes. -Dave]

Where's

A Delorean when you really need one. And I'd scoop up that Willys in a New York minute as well!

Used or not

Give me a time machine and a couple of thousand dollars and I'll be a happy camper.

I'll Take Them-

Please write up the entire inventory of the car lot and have them delivered to my house tomorrow morning. And cash- I'll pay in cash.

Gives me the ...

I'll take that '33 Willys on the left, please.

Great title!

Customer: "Are these used cars guaranteed?"

Salesman: "Well, they're guaranteed to be used!"

At least they were practicing truth in advertising.

Right next door
