Grand opening, Pep Boys, 1344 S. Figueroa, 1933. It was formerly AAA headquarters.


If you aren't familiar, Pep Boys is a car repair and service franchise, and Mannt Moe ans Jack are their 3 spokesguys. The company was founded in 1921 as a single unit auto supplies store in Philadelphia. It was just over a decade later, during the depression ridden 1930’s, that they were established as a chain that dominated the Philadelphia area


this was Manny


so these must be Moe and Jack

  1. I still don't have a PEP BOY'S in my area. For some reason, I don't know about, they won't come North of the PA. boarder.
