So what fans are in your local car dealerships?
Here are mine:
*A Saturn dealership had 6 Gloss White Hunter Infinities on 48" down rods, on a high ceiling in the main showroom area, and the dealership used the cool old 90s-style Saturn dealership layout. The dealership closed, and an Infiniti dealership bought it. My dad happened to be helping demo and remodel the dealership, and he asked if he could have the fans. I got all six of them ;D
*A local franchise of dealerships sells many brands of cars, and the Hyundai and Toyota/Scion dealerships have some Brushed Steel Modern Fan Company Ball model ceiling fans in the showroom and service area.
*A Ford dealership has some White NuTone ProLines in the showroom (the 90s models) on 12" down rods.
That's it for me, I'll add more as I think of them.

Here's more:
*The local franchise mentioned used to have some unknown PB 4B huggers in the used car showroom and some generic White builderfans in the Hyundai dealership. The other dealerships never had fans.
*A Pontiac dealer had some White Hunter Passport I's, which were later replaced by White Hunter Quiet Breeze II's, and the Honda dealership next to it (it later moved) had some other White Hunters of some sort. Both dealers were knocked down to make room for a BB&T Bank.
*A luxury used car dealership has some New Bronze-colored fans of some sort.
*A Hummer dealership had some Big A$$ Fans of some sort, but they were possibly removed when Hummer went out and was replaced by a Buick-GMC dealer.
*A Cadillac dealership had some early White HB Littletons (2 in the front, 4 or 5 in back where the parts are kept) without light kits (said HB on the switch housing) in the parts area.

A former Dodge dealership had 3 early 90s PB Craftmade builder fans in The showroom and 4 white 48" NuTone Proline 3 bladed industrials in the service area. Circa 2006, the building was changed to a Saturn Dealer and all the fans were gone. There was a Pontiac dealership that had 2 white Con-Tech industrials on 36" downroods in the showroom and about 6 more of them in the service area. The ones in the showroom were replaced with flushmounted Encon Wyndhams in 1999. A VW dealer had 2 60" Dayton-Lasko 4B industrials in the showroom. Said fans were removed circa 2003. A now defunct Chrysler dealer had 2 brown 52" Hunter Reversaire Originals in the showroom on 36" downrods. The parts building had 3 white/PB 4B 52" footprint vent fans on 36" downrods with cane blades (Concord, perhaps?) The service area was filled with 60" Dayton industrials. A defunct GM dealer north of me (My Buick came from there) had 2 AB 52" 1st generation Hunter Low Profiles in the showroom which were always running on high! An Oldsmobile dealer had 2 white 36" Moss Caribbean Breeze 3B industrials and next to them was a 52" 4B, 1L GE-Vent fan with cane. Another room had 2 GE-Vent fans of the same kind albeit without lights. The 2 Mosses were replaced with AB 52" 5B builder fans. The GE-Vent fans remained. Another defunct Dodge Dealer has 2 AB 52" 4B Hunter Coastal Breezes from the 90s. In St. Louis: A Buick dealership had 2 PB 52" plastic Emersons; one of which had a loose nose. Said dealership now sells Kia and the Emersons were replaced with what look like Craftmade CXLs A Ford dealer has 2 AB 52" Emerson 1895 series fans on 12" downrods. A Dodge dealer used to have 6 PB 4B, 5L Casablanca Victorians. They were removed during a remodel 10 years ago  That's all I can think of now |

None in the showrooms. Only ones I've ever seen are the industrials out in the garage areas, varying from Daytons to Blender Fans.

I haven't really seen any fans in the showrooms, but I've seen Dayton/Hampton Bay/etc. industrials in the garages. One garage had two white/PB Builder fans over the desk with circline fluorescent light bulbs in the light kits.

Also I forgot that a Chevrolet dealership has 2 White 36" Dayton-Laskos placed randomly in the showroom.
A Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-RAM dealership has 2 AB GEV Close-Mounts with Cane in the showroom. I will try to get a pic off of the dealer's website of the showroom.

UPDATE: Apparantly Chevrolet is giving all of their dealers a new "Corporate" look, and the Chevrolet dealer near me that had 2 Dayton/Laskos is being remodeled with lower ceilings and a new look. The Dayton/Laskos were removed in a remodel. |

The local Chevrolet dealership used to have those ornate Moss-looking stack motor fans in the showroom and 48" KDK Royalaires everywhere else. They gave the interior of the building a complete overhaul in the early 90's (probably when it was renamed from Steakley Brothers to Allen Samuels) and put white Litex builders in throughout.
The local Pontiac dealership (now Buick/GMC since the brand downsizing) has brass Litex builders on Hang-Tru-like canopies. Judging from one that still hangs in the office I assume these were also originally ornate stack motor fans. There is also a generic 5BGEV with cane in the service waiting room and another brass Litex builder hanging from what looks like to be the canopy to a friction drive Emerson in one of the service offices.
The Chevy dealership in West (a city in Texas about 15-20 miles north of Waco) has had bright brass Originals in the showroom for years.

Nope. If I knew anyone working at the dealer I wouldve.

I don't have pics of the Dayton-Laskos and I just see these fans through windows, I wouldn't go into the dealerships when I'm not buying a car and just ask to take pics of the fans!

Just go in, even with a parent, and if anyone asks just say you're looking around, and sneak a discreet pic or two while you're at it. It doesn't need to be a big production, you're just making excuses. Even take a pic through the window! It wouldn't be an ideal image, but then you don't even have to go in.  |
