J. J. Hart ford dealership

[FL&WVMIKE]

Is anyone familiar with the J. J. HART FORD DEALERSHIP of Brooklyn, New York ?
My 1934 Ford was sold there originally (See photo of decal on the cowl).
I have a 1949 post-card from there (See photos). It states that they have 37 years of experience.
I can not find them on GOOGLE.
I wrote them in 1973, looking for history of my FORD. They wrote back, but had no information.

ARE THEY STILL AROUND ?

Mike, Have you tried to get a map to the address location on that post card at Google, Yahoo, or Map Quest? Some of these internet websites will allow you to get a satellite picture of that same location. You may be able to get a virtual picture of that same location today. J.M.

The Nov. 1940 issue of the FORD FIELD magazine had an article of several pages long on J.J. Hart's FORD Engine Rebuilding Department as they were the authorized engine rebuilder for Brooklyn at that time, as well as being a Ford dealer They were located at 1095 Atlantic Avenue.
Hope this helps. Lincoln.

My father worked for JJ Hart for over 30 years, they were located at 1095 Atlantic Ave. Brooklyn, NY,the dealership was sold in the early 1970's and became Art- Ley Ford. JJ Hart later opened a Ford dealership in Riverhead, NY. I hope this info is of some help to you.

The building appears to be there, but the walls are blocked up.

If the link works;

well, it didn't work right, it takes you to an overhead view. But you can click the sidewalk view on the upper left of the screen and see more.

My grandfather owned JJ Hart Ford. My father moved it out to Riverhead in '73 and kept it open until about '82. He still owns that property in Brooklyn.

I use bing.maps. You can get a "birds eye view" that appears to be taken from a plane at a moderate altitude. In most places, you can rotate the view to see it from all four compass points. Here it is looking north.

Here's a link to the site. Zoom in and go to "birds eye." You can also turn off the labels.

Don't know if it's the same J.J. Hart, if so, they wound up in Riverhead, N.Y. sometime between '50's & '70's. Not sure of the sequence but the Riverhead dealership had been Lyon Ford, Riverhead Ford, J.J.Hart and somewhere in there Riverhead Ford Linc. Merc. My best friend purchased his 1953 F-100 brand new from them. When the gas prices went to .65 a gal., He yanked out the "whisper quiet V-8" and replaced it with a Mercedes Diesel. Big mistake, it couldn't get out of it's own way.He is deceased but his son still owns it. That '53 is almost perfect except for that Mercedes. His son threatens to put a V-8 back in it someday.

I was wondering about the arm and hand in the picture. Her outfit doesn't leave much to the imagination. Oh, its great that a decendent of J.J. Hart has joined and posted on the Barn.
