It sure as heck jogs the memory as I had totally forgotten about those days. I used to go to Hugh's garage, gas station, and new auto sales shop and drewl over the new chevrolets. Other employees were Elliot West and Bill Walker the mechanic who I remember fairly well. Dorthey also had an office in the car sales area.
Wally McKay also had a car dealer ship across the street from his Dad. He sold Plymouths and I think Chryslers also????
I am glad former area people are locating the blog. It is great that it is re-connecting some of past generations back to the tri-state areas.
Things that we forget that make for interesting reading. Thank You

Yes Dallas, Wally McKay sold Chryslers and Plymouths across the street from his Dad's Chevrolet agency. Wally finally closed shop in Haigler and opened a Chrysler-Plymouth dealership in North Platte.
I well remember Emmons Adams, the Standard Oil dealer and the delivery truck with the Standard Oil sign on it that was usually parked there at his house.
One time I took Elaine (Adams) to a movie in Wray. We went in Dorothy McKay's brand new Chrysler New Yorker. After the movie was out we walked back to the car, and it would not start. We got it pushed out of the parking space and coasted down main street to a service station. Finally the person on duty that night got it started, and we made it back to Haigler.
Talk about embarrassment and how not to impress a girl on a date - helping push a new Chrysler!
