    Have you ever heard of...?

    Have you ever heard of a dealership named R.S. Taylor Corporation?

    Supposedly they were around in the 80s in Valejo, CA but I've never heard of that dealership nor have I ever seen a plate frame for that dealership and I'm wondering a) if I'm mistaken and that place never existed and b) if R.S. Taylor did exist how far back did it/they go?

    I know ... totally random for a Monday AM.

    I hope everyone had a good weekend.

    I drive by their old dealership quite often. They were located in old downtown Vallejo and then moved to just off the Hwy 37 Exit (the way to go to Sears Point) of Hwy 80. They buildings are still there but empty. It's most recent use was as a Toyota Dealership.

    Regards

    Jim
