Dunn Chevrolet dealership in Roanoke Ala was closed suddenly in 2008 (car dealership year of death), and all the stuff inside was just left. It's all still there, the parts department shelves are full.

    2. And they sure are perfect examples of mistreating customers letting a company know they are fed up.

  2. never met tj dunn but I do know that my great grandfather James Dunn Sr employed the rest of the family, which would explain the comment cards, after my grandfather James Dunn Jr took over things were much better.

    1. The comment cards reflect the era... did you spend time at the dealership? To me, it looks like a time capsule of car enthusiast nirvana, I'd just be thrilled to be there, photographing all the cool old stuff to share with people who are like me, enthralled by photo galleries of the old stuff, shelves of obsolete parts, time capsule rooms of businesses that shut the doors suddenly
