'Turnback Tuesday' on Wednesday features car dealership

This week's "Turnback Tuesday" features a longtime 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. It eventually became a Hudson dealer, then an AMC/Jeep one and 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 one along Route 34 at Chapel Street (currently occupied by On Time Screen Printing.)

A big thank you goes to Derby Public Library for sharing interesting local history each week!
