Sorry, that was confusing the way my posts were put up, I was trying to reply to Balinwire’s YouTube screenshot post. That one is not Fuller on Wilshire I think.

It is Fuller on Wilshire - take note of the billboards across street.

Which showroom is this in your video screenshot? I thought it was the Auburn Cord Fuller main dealership on Wilshire but the architecture and church next door are different. And it appears to be on Western Ave.

Looks like the Packard showroom and church are a little west I may be wrong what do you think? Must be after Auburn closed as the signs in the glass windows. The showroom is also in 4.06

The Fuller FAC building is still there - and wishing someone in LA would be a pest and push them to allow entry and perhaps some exploration to document what survives from period via a photo essay.

Here is a 1935 or 1936 Auburn Boattail Speedster adverting Vogue Tires in one of the billboards on the Brown Derby, Fuller Auburn-Cord, KFAC side of the street or on the opposite side of the street billboards.

Notice the billboard on the Right is advertising the Pilot Ray accessory light - w/ Brown Derby the next door neighbor to Fuller Auburn Cord and KFAC - the car should be a 1929 LaSalle Opera Coupe given wheels and fender mounted parking lamps

Sidenote, on the Canon link it lists 227 and on the building it says 222, so 227 would be across the street.

hi, this is balin', somehow my old login does not work. I cant go to those locations but you could, the Canon Drive and Hollywood address should be good, I think the Hollywood it next to The Chinese theater. Maybe some member from the San Francisco could get pictures from the city. I had no Idea of the addresses except Wilshire, I just found this card by accident I saw the addresses I have been looking for. And the Figueroa St
building, if it still exists would be interesting.

This is the San Francisco dealership, notice the Auburn Fuller Co. signs on the windows, was there a connection between the northern and southern California dealerships?

There are very few images of the dealership behind shrubs and wall in center of frame but this one must be it, the towers are missing so I am not sure of the date, claimed to be in the 1950's.

That is a 1933 or 1934 Packard that is under the Coffee sign - something is blocking the view of the leading edge of the front fender - a 1933 is more "open" on the leading edge while a 1934 is more closed (ie more "modern").

interesting view of how busy the area around the ADC showroom on Wilshire was, seen upper left center under broadcast tower behind palms. This would be a rare view looking west. <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: -->
