I have two vintage car dealer, curved front display cases for sale. These came out of the parts/accessories sales area of an old Illinois dealership. These are now at my home in central Wisconsin.

This matched pair of 1940's-1950's vintage display cases is from Ken Goby Chevrolet/Buick in Newman, Illinois. There is still a very old, Ken Goby dealer decal on the front glass of one of the cases. I was initially attracted to these cases because of the period look AND the neat rounded glass front. The display cases are covered with a pastel green, patterned vinyl, and are trimmed in aluminum. They are 39" high, and 24" on each leg of the cabinet arc. Each case has one, arc-cut display glass shelf halfway up inside, in addition to the glass top. There is a sliding door on one of the side panels to get things in and out of the case. Both cabinets are set-up to have a florescent light inside. One of the cases has its original light in place. The light is missing from the other case, but I have obtained a nearly identical replacement fixture for it. It is not yet mounted.


Both cases are in good condition, but could use some cleaning. There are some scratches on the top glass of each case, as you would expect for years of use. Both curved front glasses are in very good condition. I would like to get $350 total for the pair.

Email me for photos. I am located within 20 miles of the huge IOLA car show and swap meet being held July 10-13. I could certainly arrange for someone to look at or pick up these cases during that time. Thanks, John in Plover, Wisconsin

Those would be perfect for auto memorabilia, toy cars, literature, key chains, hood oranments.

You're right, Jake. That is exactly the use I purchased these display cases for. Got 'em home and determined I simply did not have room in my "man cave" for them. They are really a neat item, with the curved front glass. I've had several emails about these display cases, but not takers yet. Best, John in Wisconsin
