ghost sign

 

Imagine my surprise when a quick search on "Bob Hooper" to learn more about this ghost sign on an empty building turned up stories about "ghost car dealerships"!  The Hoopers, father and son, had the Plymouth Dodge dealership in Plainview from the 1930s to the '70s.  It seems that Bob, through the years, stowed about a dozen or so new cars with low miles in his barn.  After his death his heirs sold the entire collection to Barrett-Jackson classic car auction.  The 1957 Plymouth Savoy two-door

blue coupe with 29 miles sold for $52,800!  There's more to the story than faded paint!
