As you can see from the photo, 1570 Main St,. near Ferry, was last occupied by Crest A/V Electronics, but at one time it was home to Erhart Motors.
1570 Main St., Buffalo N.Y. today
In 1960 Erhart sold the Volvo, Jeep, and Studebaker brands. This was back when Jeeps were still made by Kaiser-Jeep, and were branded under the Willys name, before being bought out by American Motors.

Erhart Motors eventually ended up also selling the Checker, remembered mostly for their taxi cabs.

Those 60’s era Volvos were incredibly stout machines. I had a ‘62 544 and later, a ‘66 122. I’d still be driving them if WNY used something other than corrosive salt to clear the roads…..
