I thought we should start a thread listing dealerships we know of but are not found on any of the other sites.  I know of two in Washington State where I bought new AMC cars at, that fit this category.   

One was Evergreen Motors located on 1st Ave South, south of Seattle in an area known as Burien.  I bought a new '70 Gremlin there.  When I came back from overseas in 1971 the dealership was gone, replaced by an used car lot.  I do not know much about the dealership but it appeared to be a thriving one when I purchased my Gremlin.  Guessing it was a Rambler dealership before then.

The second dealership was LaBonte AMC/Jeep in Renton.  I bought several AMC cars there.  It was still a very going concern when I left the area in 1981.  It may have been the former Barnard Motor Company, but I am not sure.

My Rampart Red American 440H was bought new from Hoffstrand Motors, on Main street in Pullman WA..  Home of Washington State University. I even have a copy of an ad from the local paper where Hoffstrand is selling 64 Americans!
