Walt G Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Roslyn Motors was only in business for a few years , approximately 1926-28, but they had three locations , the other two were in Southampton, N.Y. and Flushing , N.Y. all on long island.their Roslyn, N.Y. location was the main dealer and their by line was "at the clock tower" as they built a very nice looking showroom in English tudor style opposite a historic clock tower. Boththe clock tower and the building still exist and look as they did when new. Roslyn Motors advertised frequently in color in the souvenir programs that were issued for the cuctom body salons held in the Hotel Commodore in Manhattan which was on 42nd Street just east of the Grand Central Terminal. Donald Trump bought the Hotel Commodore and as he did with other old buildings "modernized" the facade and destroyed the integrity of the appearance of the fine old building.
