Independent import dealerships became increasingly familiar sights as foreign automobiles gained popularity in the United States. Unlike many larger new-car dealerships, these businesses often operated from relatively compact buildings with room for a showroom, service department, and a modest inventory of vehicles. Import Motors captures that character in a footprint that's easy to incorporate into a developed HO scale community.
