Lost Memphis: Klyce Motors Studebaker Dealership

Memphis' own Vance Lauderdale posted this interesting bit of lost Memphis on Ask Vance.  Aside from the building itself, the photo features two 1949 Studebaker Commanders in the Klyce Motors livery.

Brothers Arnold and Walter Klyce opened Klyce Motors, Memphis’ only Studebaker dealership, on South Cleveland in 1945. Newspapers praised the building’s clean design, created by Memphis architect Zeno Yeates, and proclaimed it “one of the most modern and attractive dealerships in the South.”
