Nugent Chevrolet/Oldsmobile was at 400 S. La Brea... "OK" was Chevrolet's national branding for its dealers' used car operations. Nugent was selling Chevrolets at least by the late '20s at 627 S. La Brea (just down from Gillingham DeSoto), moving to 400 by 1934, where it was still listed in 1987 and, apparently, beyond.
Behold Gillingham's Showroom ca '29. But are they last year's models? It appears that the showroom could be opened up by an enormous movable (roll up) partition. Practical? Doubtful it was lightweight. Spanish tile roof accents and tall front fascia were a nice touch. Was there an off-site garage for service?
