 Topic: Anderson Auto Co. Allis dealership
Posted: 06 Aug 2011 at 8:49am |
My grandfather and my dad ran an Allis Chalmers dealership from 1931 to 1992. It was called Anderson Auto and was located in Ella, Wisconsin (Arkansaw address) Here are a couple pictures of the garage.

Hey Crazyhorse, I am restoring my D15 that my grandfather purchased from Anderson Auto Co. I am trying to find some of the old dealership stickers or a clean photo of the dealer logo so that I can create the decals on the sides of the tanks on the tractor. Let me know if you could help me out at all. Thanks!

I remember attending the auction in the 90's. Neat place.

This is the better of the two decals that I have on her but its still too rough to be able to pull a decent trace off of to recreate a vinyl die cut version of it.

They used to have the Mosquito fest right next to the dealer in the park. I always remember the chainsaw toss competition as a kid! Cool dealer right on the bank of the Chippewa river.

Daves (crazy horse) brother works at Heitman Salvage in Durand.
I have a graphics design guy recreating the image I posted so that I can make new cut vinyl decals for the tractor after I get it painted.
