Throwback Thursday: Do You Remember...?

ENFIELD, CT — In this weekly series, Enfield Patch remembers a business or landmark in town that is no longer in existence.

We continue the format of this column we recently instituted: old advertisements from local businesses in some 1970s and 1980s Enfield and Fermi high school yearbooks and early-1960s to mid-1980s telephone directories and newspapers.

Today we go back to a late 1970s telephone directory ad for Fiore Oldsmobile. The car dealership was owned and operated by Ralph A. Fiore, and was one of the first businesses constructed on Palomba Drive in 1976.

After 20 years at that location, Ralph Fiore sold the business and retired in 1996. He passed away Jan. 7, 2013 at age 85.

Medeiros Oldsmobile occupied the building for a few years, and since 2001, it has housed Lia Hyundai.

Enfield Patch invites readers to share their memories in the comments section below.
