Long since gone.....think they were there up into the early, or maybe mid 80's. Pretty sure they were gone by the late 80's.The site is now a school.

Taking the size of the USA into consideration, how many dealerships did each marque have, must have been thousands surely...?But, Harry Mann were pretty famous, as USA's largest Corvette dealer, and were involved with sponsoring some well known (local to SoCal) drag racers etc on the now also long gone famous drag strips of the SoCal area.
I remember on the HAMB forum a few years back there was a thread on Harry Mann dealership, and one of the guys posting used to work there in the 60's as the Corvette electrician

Somewhere on YouTube there’s footage of (I think) a mothballed Plymouth dealership out in the sticks with brand new unregistered ‘70s cars gathering dust in the showroom, a real time warp find.

I'll take the Maserati 250F for £750, please.
I love the way it's just shoved in the middle of the advert without fanfare.Just like Ferrari GTO's were in the early 70's......
