Re: Dealer: Kansas City MO

Much as though I despise being wrong -- I may have been when I reported that the old building was on Main.

I researched this further.

Even numbered addresses are on the west side of the street in Kansas City; odd numbered addresses are on the east. The newer building was on the east side of the street facing west.

I must therefore concede that the newer building would have therefore faced the Liberty Memorial, Penn Valley Park, and St. Mary's Hospital.

If you look at Google Earth or one of the other satellite map services, you can see a grassy, open area just south of the Crown Center complex. This is where the dealer would have been. After Bill Neale Chrysler Plymouth closed, the building was vacant for several years. Kansas City's climate is especially hard on vacant buildings so the empty dealership was probably in poor condition by the time it was demolished.
