Looks interesting; where are the rest?

Click the link, Tubman. It should lead to a gallery of pics.
Or try this:

And keep clicking Next.

I just found the pics will take a great deal of zooming in. Lots of great details of the tools etc. in the workshop pics.

Thanks, Mart.

Thanks for sharing. I remember the early Ford dealerships in Jacksonville, Fl.
They were no way the size of that dealership.

Really liked pic 10 .

Curtains on and you can clearly see the long upper curtain .
The L & R that attach to the 4 studs on the inside of the top irons .

Hard to find pics of them in place ./

I have never seen a service dept. that big. It's massive!!
I'll bet the monthly bill to heat that place was massive too!lol

 

[mercman from oz]

New 1937 Fords and earlier models with the Spare Parts Dept. in background - Australia.

Thanks for the bigger pic .
Looks to be a 33 .

Cars look to be RHD so maybe a warmer climate area .

Heating that huge [ that looks un-insulated ] building in NW Wisconsin in winter would have been horrible .

Dalgety was a well known business name in New Zealand a few years back. Nice pictures Mart as I am putting a 37 together at the moment that will park next to my 38 that I drive.

This dealership was in Adelaide, SA, Wakefield Street, this serviced greater Adelaide and some country regions

If you zoom in on the original pic you can read the writing on the door of the 33 phaeton. Lots of cool tooling around the place including an electrical bench and an air compressor that looks like it was converted from a stationary engine.

Great pics Mart, thank you.

 

[corvette8n]

I like the truck on the double lift.

NOTE


The 33 Phaeton is RHD as is the 37 coupe
Two different pictures show "Anglia's" one being a Delivery!!!
Three....just over the right corner of the top of the 33 phaeton is another Anglia Delivery, looks to be cream in color



Great stuff Mart!!!! Thanks for sharing. Love the Art Deco building and architecture

 

[farmertom]

fuel pumps inside building!!

 

[David J]

Looking at mercmans big pic notice another phaeton to the left of the 33 .
Must be a 33 or 34 as it also has the upper curtain in place .

Real hard to find pics of a 33-34 phaeton with these in place and Mart finds a pic with TWO sitting side by side !!!!!!

Good job bud !

If you can post a clearer pic of this I would sure like to study details on it .

Anywayz thanks .

Then look for the + and - buttons top left and click the + to zoom in. Keep clicking until it stops zooming then "grab" the image to move the phaetons into view.
