Car Dealers on Postcards

Advertising on postcards was always a popular topic and auto dealers jumped on the bandwagon. Here are a few Fort Lauderdale dealers from my collection along with newspaper ads the dealerships ran back in the day. Click on any image for a larger view.

PACKARD ~ HUDSON ~ STUDEBAKER ~ MERCEDES-BENZ

This postcard shows Trammell Motor Company located on Federal Highway at SE 2nd ST, near the north entrance of the New River Tunnel. They also sold Hudsons and years later Mercedes-Benz. By the mid-60’s, Trammell sold his Mercedes-Benz business and relocated to 100 W. Sunrise, west of Searstown for used car sales.
