Wow Clark thanks for the info! Do you have any photos of your place? You should post it on the Community ‘Fridge and maybe we could do a historical post about it!
From 1958 to 1962 there were three new-car dealerships in Yellow Springs: Village Ford, Bales Chevrolet, and Turner Foreign Cars (Jaguar, Triumph, Lotus, DKW, DB) at 1455 Xenia Avenue. I closed the latter when I returned to graduate school at Ohio State and sold the building to Bob Baldwin, who relocated his Village Ford dealership there from Dayton Street. When I completed graduate school, John Pobst and I opened a city planning consulting office in (who woulda thought?) the old Ford agency building that we rented from Bob.
