BWW authorized dealers and distributors, circa 1971

I recently picked up some old BMW manuals, and this list was included.  I wonder how many are still in existence?

Checkpoint in Buffalo was a BMW and Saab dealer.  Well respected; but alas they are now gone.

Dieter, Harald and Walter gave up their BMW franchise for Great Neck Imports when BMW NA required them to build a new $1 million showroom.

P&W, in Pittsburgh, PA, is still in business as a BMW dealer.  Never did business with them, although they did have a good reputation, back in the day (don't have any idea, now).

Sadly, Cummins Motor Sales, in Canonsburg (where we purchased all three of our 2002s, new, abandoned BMW after BMW's repeated demands that they build a "new, modern facility in a high-traffic area").  Eventually, Bobby Rahal came in to fill the void.  However, I refuse to do business with any "mega dealers" and my 2002A receives all of it's service & repairs in my own workshop.

Right at the top of the Pennsylvania listing is Universal Motor Sales of Butler, where my dad bought our car in 1971! It was a primarily Chrysler and Plymouth dealer where my dad worked in high school in the '50s, then became Keck Chrysler-Plymouth. After Plymouth was killed, the business eventually closed. The site is now a Get Go gas station.
