From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: Stahls dealership in Derby
This week's "Turnback Tuesday" features
longtime 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 2000s.
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.)
