Shelly > October 31, 2008 Dickey Box Nice Cars Back in the old hometown last week, I just had to run out and grab a few images of this classic old car dealership. I don't know that too many people in Midland, TX think of this as a landmark, but to me it's a treasure that should be preserved. Cool structure, huh? Back in the 1970's the dealership had a sign that said "Dickey Box Nice Cars," but someone must have decided to upgrade the venture to "Motor Company." One of my high school friends had a stepfather who actually worked here as a salesman. We never knew when my friend would show up driving some new cute vehicle with dealer tags. She might have it for a day or two or maybe for a couple of weeks before she would give it back. Fun times -- we'd take that car to "Love's Burger Train" (but we all just called it Loves) for a French Vanilla Cherry Lemon Lime Sprite before driving by all the cute boys' houses. Last time I looked, Loves had turned into a beauty shop. Dickey must have sold all of his cars after he changed his sign. And the Robert E. Lee High School Class of '78 did not have a 30 year reunion this year . . . sigh.
