It has been vacant since March 2008 except for 2017 when it was used as a movie prop. I think it was the fictitious Salico County Police Department for a couple of weeks.

They began in 1946 as a Ford-Monarch dealer. They switched to Chevy in July of 1950. Prior to Robertson Motors, the dealership was called Evans Motors(Ford-Monarch)

my '69 442 convertible came from Robertson. That car was loaded. Had 32 options. Unfortunately I never got the printout from GM vintages. Owned from 1982-2000

Here were the dealers on Danforth as of 1972. Mainway was owned by the same group that owned Northtown Ford and Leaside Lincoln-Mercury. Mainway closed in 1974 and became Detonia Ford. Later on, Dentonia would move to another location.

Leaside was at 930 Millwood Road near Laird. They were in business for less then 8 months. The location was HOJ Industries' headquarters before and after the closure of Leaside L-M. HOJ was the parent company of Mainway, Leaside, Northtown, and Yorkview Ford.
I have a lot of other dealers in the Scarborough area that I found too. The above ad earlier is the closest I got to finding a picture of Mainway. I am close to having a picture/photo of every Ford, L-M dealer in the GTA.

I have no idea what HOJ stands for. HOJ INdustries also owned Gateway L-M and a couple AMC dealers too. And yeah, Leaside barely existed. I only have the ad they made when they opened, but no photo of the actual dealership.
Do you have any other requests for dealers? I can search what I have either by name of dealer or address.
