Hi All,
Anyone who was around in NY before 1988, remember this place?
RAYMOND CAR SALES INC (AKA Bayside Ford)
207-02 NORTHERN BLVD
BAYSIDE NY 11361
They delivered my 68' S code GT fastback new in March that year. The property was sold to a tile shop in 1988 (ParmaTile - see photo), and has just been sold (2021) to another car dealer. Here's a very old photo (1940's) confirming it was a Ford dealership. The owner was Raymond Lauricella (1914 - 2002).
Anyone know anything about it or have any photos? Web searching doesn't show much,
.
Note: there is a used car yard over in Corona that's called Raymond's Cars, but the staff have no idea about it being related. So I'm thinking its just a coincidence? Any Queens locals know anything?
Thanks a bunch.
