Anyone remember the Bennett Motor Co. and the pictured Gulf Station? They have tentatively been identified as being on the Dover St. Talbot Lane block next to the Post Office in Easton, Md. Star Democrat research states that on Friday Oct. 21, 1938 J.N. Bennett accepted an award Dodge Automobile Co. gave to the Bennett Motor Co. for it’s efforts to ensure uninterrupted satisfactory performance of the motor vehicles sold to the public! Later Star Democrat articles state in 1949 William Henry Bennett was the general manager and that in 1950 James Bennett of Bennett Motor Company was the chairman of Easton’s National Automobile Dealer Week Committee. Does anyone know what happened to this successful Company?

Bruce Harringtons Father ran that Gulf for a period of time. He may know much more.
