Downey was always the home to many new car dealerships. Today Cerritos Auto Mall, has stolen and taking that position> (between Downey/Cerritos), one time Bellflower was a home to a lot of new car dealerships too. Here is a list of some of the car dealerships I remember very well, and some of the cars the brokers sold thousands of.
Few Long Beach dealerships moved in to Cerritos Auto Mall, Many Downey dealerships, moved to Cerritos Auto Mall, but many dealers have closed shop too: Daihatsu cars, Datsun renamed to Nissan; Mercury, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Hummer, Saturn, Sterling cars.
Browning dealerships from Long Beach, moved in to Cerritos. Back in the 70’s, I was employed by M/M Browning ( senior) , when he purchased his home in Palos Verdes- Rolling Hills Gated HOA. Today, Browning son has private Corvette Museum in Cerritos, plus purchased the Astor Museum.
Salta dealerships from Long Beach, never moved to Cerritos, nor Downey to my knowledge.. Yestyears, have worked for many of the Salta Family in greater Long beach areas. Salta passed away in Palm Springs, Ca.
Moon Datsun, moved from Cypress, Ca. ( Home Depot Pad) to Cerritos Auto Mall.
Suburban Pontiac moved from Bellflower, to Cerritos Auto Mall and name change to Victory Pontiac- GM-Buick.
