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.

Staying up too late tonight playing!  Technically it's May 2 anyway.  

I've always wanted to create a composite photo like this one, and finally had the opportunity at a recent senior portrait shoot.  She was a great sport about experimenting. 
We took these at the elementary school that she attended, so it should be special to her.  We had been shooting on the playground earlier.
