Info wanted about Ford Dealer ship

Info wanted about Ford Dealer ship
I'm restoring a 1928 Ford Model A Tudor ,

When cleaning the engine hood I found under lots of paint and filler this dealer sign (see picture)
N.V. AMSTERDAMSCHE GARAGE v/h
C.L. de GROOT
OFFIACIAL FORD DEALER
Overtoom 197-205 Amsteram
tel 82525

Does anyone have some old pictures from the Garage ?
It would be nice to have some old photo's or some history.


Please let me know.


You can see the restoration progress on my website

Thank you

Het loont ook altijd de moeite het Amsterdams Gemeente Archief te bezoeken waar men foto's per straat heeft opgeslagen.
Ik heb daar prachtige foto's van auto's gevonden.

The architect of the building was Alexander Bodon, born in Wien 1906-09-06 Died Amsterdam, 1993-01-22
