I don’t know how good Lloyd King was at selling Fords, or how long he sold them for, but I do like his showroom at 5912 Pacific Blvd in Huntington Park. With those backlit signs and the display above the front door, I’m sure all the locals knew where King plugged his cars, including the Lincoln Zephyr V12 if the sign in the window is anything to go by. This image is from 1937.
Leonard W. says: “King’s first advert from the Los Angeles Evening Post Record, July 16, 1921. He advertised regularly in the papers up until 1945 and then no more.”
Sadly, King’s Ford showroom is now the site of a large mini mall. This image is from June 2022.
Thanks for sharing this night-shot of a sadly long gone era. It not too dissimilar to Tiny Naylor’s restaurant which closed and demolished for a shopping area.
