It was right across the street from Sutliff Chevrolet, I cannot remember when they closed, but I believe Sutliff own's the lot now.

My father and grandmother's husband Grant both worked at Francis. Grant worked there forever, my father left to LB Smith Ford. My uncle may have also worked at Francis, I can ask him. Is there info you are looking for?

Both my father and step-grandfather worked at Francis. My uncle says my father worked in the body shop. He remembers my Dad lost a car there in the '72 flood, couldn't remember if it was a triumph or sprite. My father was a strict ford guy, but he rebuilt the european cars for better money.
