Email received Jan., 06:

My uncle, James Edward Healy was the Nash dealer at 2488 Milwaukee Ave. His original partner was Al Urban but that deal fell apart due to tax problems when Urban operated an insurance business not known to my uncle or the govt. I lived with with my aunt & uncle from 1940 until I married in 1962. Lost my dad in a car accident in 1940. I believe the business was still operating in 1960. I know it was operating in 1959 when I returned home from the Air Force. Jim Healy passed away in 1981 in Hot Springs, AR where he retired.
 
After Jim Healy closed up Nash he went to work as the used car mgr. for Charlie Hern Pontiac. Believe it or not but I was in the Air Force with Walt Barrow's son (Rambler in Oak Park). Walt Jr. was a fighter pilot and died in Florida in 2001. Walt jr. flew F-102 and F-104 fighters. I am still in touch with his widow.  BTW, the name of the business was changed to Logan Square Rambler but I don't remember when. Jim Healy was friendly with Charlie Nash from way back. In high school after I got my license I would ride up to Kenosha, WI with a salesman or two to pick up cars and return to Chicago. That was a lot of fun. I recall seeing the problem cars off the assembly line that the workers had to fix on their own time.

My father, Dan Engels had a repair garage and a gas station at the site on Higgins Road from 1939 through 1953.
In 1953 he built a showroom, new service station and office and began selling Nash automobiles. He owned the agency through the transition to Rambler in 1958, and sold the franchise in 1961.
He and my mother Muriel Engels owned the building continuously through 1998 when the property was sold. The building was torn down in 2009 and is now a strip mall.    Patricia J. (Engels) Boudreau
