In the 60s and 70s I purchased Plymouths (one was a new 66' Belvedere
Satellite 426 HEMI) from Don. During that time I became friends with Don 
and his wife Susie and several of the employees there. Some of the other 
young customers like myself would hang out there several evenings a week 
and wash our cars and of course shoot plently of bull. There was and still 
is a nice long straight stretch of highway between Snoqualmie and North 
Bend that we occasionally utilized it for "road tests". I have always 
regretted not having taken photos of the dealership during those times. 
Don's father had the Studebaker dealership for many years, and when he 
retired and turned it over to him around 1964 they ended the Studebaker 
part and Don got a Chrysler Plymouth dealership. During the years that I 
went there you could still see the large painted Stude emblem sign showing 
through the coverup paint high up on the wall of the taller adjoining 
building (Cub's Cafe) on the right side of the dealership as you face it 
from the street. The photo that shows the Chrysler Plymouth sign is how 
dealership building looked during the years that I went there. When Don 
retired in 1978 or thereabouts he sold the building to the City of 
Snoqualmie and it become the city garage. When I was younger I can remember 
going by in the car with my dad when we were going fishing and would see 
Studebakers there. This was a very popular and well regarded dealership, 
both as Studebaker and Chrysler Plymouth, around the valley. People who had 
bought Studes later traded them in on Mopars, and Don quite often had used 
Studes on the used car lot. It has been quite a few years since I last went 
by there and as I recall the building is gone now. Sadly the Snoqualmie and 
North Bend area suffered incredible growth in the 90s and looks nothing 
like it did when I was there.

Don Moller retired in 1978, he leased out the building to Sumner Ford and 
they sold Fords for about two years then closed. After that Don then sold the building to the city.
