John Hine Pontiac • Mission Valley • circa 1965
This photo by Julius
Shulman, from the Getty Archives, was posted on the Classic San Diego
Facebook page on July 20, 2021, the same day as the article in the San
Diego Union-Tribune announcing that the dealership would close on
September 2, 2021 after 64
years in business. I think you can see the signage for the Mission
Valley Bowlero bowling alley
in the background. Few details were released in the newspaper
article, other than the operation was sold to Carvana, so something like
the structure below might soon be built on the site, although I'm betting on apartments or condos -- or maybe a mixture of all three.
