Sharing 'Turnback Tuesday' post from this date in 2018

This week's "Turnback Tuesday" features a long-time, local business in Derby: Stahls, Inc.

“Your Rambler Dealer” was once located at the corner of Olivia and Fourth Streets, 55 Fourth St. to be exact.

This family-owned company dated back to 1918 with its beginnings in car battery repair. They eventually became a Hudson dealer, then an AMC/Jeep one and again later a Dodge Dealer until the early 2000’s.

As a result of the city's redevelopment, the facility moved from the location pictured in downtown Derby to the one along Route 34 at Chapel Street (currently occupied by On Time Screen Printing.)


Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.


Hard to believe I posted this five years ago today. I remember it well - one of the few that features a color photo.
