Check out some of the prices on a Saxon roadster or a Jordan Six; where would you find a better deal? Here's a list of Trenton and Trenton area auto dealers who were participating in the 1917 Trenton Auto Show at the Armory.

IT REALLY WAS A LULU, SHADES ON THE WINDOWS, FLOWER VASES ON THE SIDES AND I BELIEVE IT HAD TO BE CRANKED TO START. MY MOTHER WAS THE ONLY DRIVER AND THAT ENDED WHEN SHE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH A WILNO'S LAUNDRY TRUCK. MY BROTHER LOU WAS JUST OLD ENOUGH TO GET A LICENSE SO HE TOOK OVER. MY MA NEVER DROVE AFTER THAT. THAT'S WHEN WE DROVE TO THE JERSEY SHORE ON A DIRT ROAD AND HAD TO KEEP THE WINDOWS UP. IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE GREAT GENERATION. REGARDS.Monday, April 18, 2011

- Tom: Seeing the old auto dealers advertisements brings back many memories of the cars of yesterday. My last office while working for the City of Trenton, was located in the old Brock Buick Building which became the Trenton City Hall annex. Directly across from City Hall, it sold Buicks, Peerless, and Winton. The Tremont Lounge was the corner of the building that extended back the whole block to what was the old "Trenton Arena", Swain Hielman sold Republic trucks in my old neighborhood before I was born on what was than "Fair St., later becoming "Bloomsbury St." Back in the 50's, I lived just two doors from the old "J.I. Peoples Auto sales there was a car lot when I left to get married in 62 and is next to what was Moses Cleaners, just a few doors from Pat's Diner which I read is still there and thriving. My dad's company trucks were "Diamond T", and Federal.Both sold locally.
