The showroom was remodeled at some point but all of the outbuildings (the car wash, shop area and used car building) were all still recognizable. If Jim said it was from the original building I'd take his word for it. K

Since this is a Royal Pontiac thread I'll go off on a bit of a tangent -
I was honored to be invited to the inaugural MCACN event to participate in a display of "significant" Royal prepped cars. Bill Schultz was there with the RAV car and Tenney had the C&D '64, as well as a Beswick '68 and the Thom McAn giveaway car. I don't usually do indoor shows I don't have a lot of display material. I asked Bill and Tenney if they were going to do a big display and they said "naw - just bring the car". So I show up and Tenney has got Scott Tiemann polishing his car so much that there is white dust in the air; Bill brought a whole wall of newspaper clippings and magazine articles. I had nothing. I ran back to the hotel and typed up an 8.5"x11" white sheet of paper with some information on it, and I had the big GTO book for the authors to sign so I set that on the hood open to the right page. You can see Bill's "wall of fame" here:

Found this while looking for something else; it's the thread from a couple years ago where the city of Royal Oak mentioned that something was going to happen with the property.

I was traveling down Main St in Royal Oak (Livernois in other Detroit area 'burbs) and thought I would check in on the remodel.
Here is what it looks like now: Neither building kept the old 400 N Main address. The Salon is 418 N Main and the other building is 485 N Main. Time marches on. Except for that house. That old house never changes. K
