Scope and content
Irwin-Jones Motor Company dealership, view looking east. Irwin-Jones was a Dodge and Plymouth dealership which also sold used trucks and automobiles as well. The company's name was blazed on the building's exterior; the large lettering could be seen quite a distance away. It appears that the new models of Dodges were now available as "The '55s Are Here" was painted on showroom windows. A Nash sedan, perhaps belonging to a potential customer, was parked out front. South Tacoma Way was then a very busy road, as it still is now, and Irwin-Jones would have had a prime location to attract passersby. Rowland Pontiac Cadillac Center would be the next occupants, starting from 1955.
