Marbury, MD:
Marbury Motors Marbury Motors was founded by William C. "Willie" Abell. Myers had started selling Grahams in 1933, but by 1937 the writing was on the wall for that marque, and he switched to Hudson. He continued as a Hudson dealer into the
1950's, switched to AMC after the 1954 merger (discontinuing Hudson sales in 1957), and stopped selling
cars in 1959. H-E-T members Ralph Abell of Florida, and his sister
Shirley Myers of Maryland, both now deceased, were William Myers'
children, and Ralph worked at the garage during its early days,
attending training classes at the Hudson factory in Detroit. The
building still exists, as does the 12-foot-high Hudson sign (now
owned by William's granddaughter Rhonda Frey and her husband Carl
Wennberg, both active H-E-T members). From 2001 to 2013 the
Chesapeake Bay Chapter of the H-E-T held a yearly picnic meet
--"Marbury Motors Days" -- near the dealership.

Martin Koons Garage, 340 East Baltimore Street. The property at 340, now home to Taneytown History Museum, was once owned by Mr. Martin Koons who had a Hudson Dealership in the garage on the property. There's no known photo of his business on this property, but he first had his business about 5 properties to the east at 418 East Baltimore Street where he did business until around the mid 1930s. The 418 property is pictured.
Westminster, MD:
Palace Garage, Main St. The date of the photo appears to be the early 1920's. The proprietor was H. H. Harbaugh, who had started the Palace Livery Stables in the 1890's. The building shown, replaced an earlier stable that burned in 1906. Harbaugh later became an automobile dealer selling (at various times) Hudsons, Dodges and Pontiacs. He was definitely selling Hudsons in 1923. One of the Palace Garage employees was Lawrence Zepp who started his automobile sales career there in 1937 selling Pontiac cars. In 1939, he began his own business, Zepp Motors, originally on John Street and then on Pennsylvania Avenue, where he sold Hudsons and Pontiacs and used cars. He retired from that business in 1950.

Specker Motor Sales of Marquette, MI
Bernard Specker started as a dealer during the depression in 1930. In '49 he stated, "I made money all during the depression. I still have my health and I am willing to go out and get business... I am betting $75,000 on my future as Hudson dealer and I expect to make my investment twenty times over." After three years of planning, the photos below show the new building and all modern facilities, proving his confidence in Hudson and the business future. He and his staff designed the building to make the best possible place of business for new car and service customers. As a result of their efforts, sales during 1953 were well over the previous year. Specker [said] that "our extra sales were made possible by our new facilities and having the Jet. The Jet is too much under rated by some dealers." Click here for more photos of this dealership!
