Miller Motor Sales
Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum
Ypsilanti, MI |
 |
 |
The Miller Motor Sales building dates from 1892 when it housed the Ypsilanti Electronic Co. In 1916, it served as a Dodge Brothers dealership and in 1928 it switched to Willys-Overland. In the 1930s, the building became a Hudson dealership which it still continues to be in a small manner (used cars and parts).
The building is primarily used now as the Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum with a focus on Hudsons and other local/regional auto manufacturers. There are many cars on display, historical info, and a gift shop. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3.

Key Motor Mall
Warren, MI |

 |
The Key Motor Mall was built in 1965. Its showroom is round with a folded plate roof. There is also a smaller replica structure that functions as the used car lot office next door. Key Motors sells Nissan, Isuzu, Oldsmobile and other makes. For more, see their website.

Wetmore's was probably always a service garage and not a showroom. But I'll sneak it in anyway since they have an interesting building. Wetmore's has been here since 1928. For more, see their website.
