tim marburger had a chrysler/dodge dealership here in bristol. it also sold volvo (of all things right across the street). that is where i bought my wife's volvo. since then, the volvo building was closed and their vehicles was moved across the street to the chrysler building. then the volvo moved across town to a dealer who sells ford and hyundai. then the volvos and the hyundais switched buildings. is this game of automotive musical chairs nuts, or what?
the marburger chrysler dealership looks like it is closed, or nearly closed, as there are just a handufl of cars there. it is just a strange thing. far fewer vehicles on a lot that can handle much more vehicles. and the building seems practially empty, at least when viewed from the road. since it is next to a k-mart which also has a parking lot way too large for the number of cars there, it feels strange in that area. like somebody dropped a neturon bomb, or something. the buildings are still there, just no people walking around.
this is by no means a large metropolitan area. bristol and neighboring cities kingsport and johnson city have all the domestic, japanese, and german automakers. the only ones missing are infiniti and audi.
