As I noted back in this 2011 post, the 2950 Broadway address was originally the home of Kunick Motor Sales in the early 1950s. Vogt Oldsmobile took over the location a couple years after Kunick. Kaminski moved in after Vogt.
Kaminski only stayed at that address for only a couple years before moving the dealership to a new home on Henderson Drive (where my parents launched their decades-long love affair with the Oldsmobile brand).
Today, the 2950 Broadway address is home to Steel City Auto Sales & Service.

Believe me, posting this on the day after General Motors made its depressing announcement of plant closings and job cuts was not planned.It's a sad, sad thing. But you can't make people buy vehicles they don't want.
I've never owned an SUV in my life and don't plan to. But I probably would have kept buying Oldsmobiles if GM had continued to make them. I'm loyal even when it doesn't always make sense.

Look what I received in my email this morning from an anonymous contributor and fellow Olds enthusiast: a nice vintage postcard featuring the building at 2950 Broadway as it looked when it was the home of Vogt Oldsmobile.
It's nice to see the building in its heyday as an auto dealership. Thanks to my anonymous contributor for sharing!
