Staff of American Motor Company just prior to their November, 1933, move to new and more spacious quarters at South 9th and "K" (now Martin Luther King Jr. Way) Sts. Fifteen men and two women posed in front of window bearing a "Chrysler Service" logo. Managers Grover E. Wakefield (third from left in second row) and Robert M. Jackson (second from left in second row) were in charge of the Chrysler & Plymouth dealership, the successor to the American Automobile Co. Opened there in 1933, in the depths of the Great Depression, the agency lasted less than two years. (Tacoma Sunday Ledger, 11-19-33, 7A)
