Frosaker Motors was located on Broadway (2nd
Street), south of Stearns Motors, about where the Wells Fargo Drive-up Bank is
now. Frosaker Motors was a Chevrolet Dealer and the building 3
stories. The basement was used for auto parts storage and also a car wash. The
main street level were offices, show room for 1-2 vehicles, and parts
department. The 2nd floor was used for mechanics and new car get-ready. The 3rd
floor was used as the paint and body shop. In the 50's a new one story service
department was constructed on the west end of the building. The 2nd floor was
then utilized for used cars. The used
cars were brought to the upper floors by way of a large freight elevator… That
elevator may have been the main access to upper floors.
There is a picture of a train load of Chevrolet automobiles. Chevrolet had asked Ole "How many new cars he wished to order?" he said "Send me a trainload" The trainload was sold before it reached Minot. Frosaker Motors eventually became Ryan Chevrolet.
