LOCATIONS
Holiday Motors, and all of the offshoot businesses, occupied a dizzying number of buildings and locations in the Los Angeles area over the 30+ years they were in business. However, a few of the more interesting locations are provided below. Date ranges of each location are approximate.
912 S. La Brea, Los Angeles (1951 only)
This was Holiday Motors' original location that was used for only a year. The location is now a car wash.
11647 Ventura Blvd, Studio City (1952-1958)
This was Holiday Motors' second location that was a result of an expansion effort. It looks like the original building might still be there.

Holiday Motors held their grand opening in May of 1956. This location was described as having 25000 square feet of sales and service area and represented a $150000 investment on th part of Holiday's owners.
