Default E. B. Smith Motors

Seems E. B. Smith Motors (Motor Co) had been around for quite some time at least through the 50's. Some info on the sale of Coggin as info.

It's a crying shame all that is gone across the street! Darrell, Do you have any idea when the other buildings were torn down?

Thanks,
Bryan

Actually Im not 100% certain when the building was torn down but ultimately this was going to take its place. Previously known as LP Field and previous to that was Adelphia Coliseum.

Default emblem

If anyone else has an EB Smith emblem like that I need one for a current restoration that we are doing here. The holes in the tailpanel are already there from the last one.
