Larry Smith discovers old Columbia Motor sign 2011-10-10 - In deep dank dungeon, somewhere in Adair Co., KY - Photo by Larry Smith. Larry Smith, Operations Manager for the Big Dawg, 99.9 FM the WAVE writes: "I'm a radio broadcaster working for the finest lawyer in town, Mike Harris, and when Mike summons me downtown for a meeting at the law-office, I like to stop in at the Bank of Columbia to see Robert Flowers for a quick history lesson. Last week Flowers gave me a tour of the Bank of Columbia and I got to see where the old Rialto Theatre use to be. (Hope I spelled it right) and was educated on some Adair County history. Today, while in Columbia, a friend showed me an old sign from the old Chevrolet Garage, he would not sell it to me but did let me take a photo of this awesome piece of Adair County history. I hope you enjoy, but ask me where it is. I fear a fate worse than the Kirkpatrick Brother if I was to reveal where it is." The old Columbia Motors was located on Greensburg Street in a building later occupied by Arnold Coomer's feed and motorcycle store. The late C.D. Wethington owned the Chevrolet dealership in World War II era, and during the post WWII period, he sold it to the legendary car dealer, T.P. "Cotton" Phelps, who moved it first to Campbellsville and Merchant Streets, and, later, to the old Overstreet & Rice International Farmall Tractor, Pontiac and GMC truck dealership building now occupied by Sharon and Bobby Burton's A-1 Transport, where it stayed until James Donald Harvey and Mike Ellis moved the Chevrolet Dealership, Harvey-Ellis, to its present location on Campbellsville Road. -CM" Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
