Yup, same store in same location since at least the late 80s (when we bought
a house down the road).  Right where you look at their sign while waiting
for the light at a freeway offramp.

Seemed to be doing a fair amount of business, too.  Around here, sheet metal
will usually last forever if you keep it painted, but the sun & sand will
take the paint right down to bare metal in a decade or so.  And not
everybody drives a new car <G>

I was following a Toyota just this morning that had to be from the early 70s
at least.  Didn't look "restored", just well-cared-for, and with shiny new
orange paint.  Was hoping to ask him where he'd had it painted, but he
turned off before I could get beside.
