Another old Ford dealer
Toyon Motors in Menlo Park, CA (on the San Francisco peninsula) was a Ford dealer in the 1930's. Here is a picture of the 20 millionth Ford in front of it that was published in the local paper in 1976. The same building is still standing as an independent auto repair place. The old showroom floor is now the customer waiting room. They have a display in the waiting room of the picture with some period Model A sales info. Interestingly enough, I've seen some classic cars in that shop from time to time, including a nice MG-TF and a 1967 VW sedan.
There was an article in The Restorer some months back showing some photos of the 20 millionth Ford in front of San Francisco City Hall. Would have been only an hour or two (about 30 miles) down the road from SF City Hall to Toyon Motors.

Re: Another old Ford dealer
When my dad and grandpa started in the automotive repair business, cars from this era are what people were bringing in for them to work on.
