LYNCHBURG AUTO PARTS THEN-This was how Lynchburg Auto PariS looked in ·the old '
days. The building, or at least half of it, was built by George Copeland and at one time was run by
Mitt Ervin. Later Bil~ Edde ran it for 30 years before present-day opcrator'Ro~cr Simmons tookover
last October. Polk" Andy" Anderson who has worked at the Auto Parts for years said they didn't even
have pin-up pictures back then. Notice the prescnt~day Metro Water Dcpartment .does not exist and
a pasture surrounds the area. The two gasoline pumps (is that Sinclair gasoline?) stand in front of a
vacant lot on which now sits one part. of.the building . _:_Photo Courtesy NELDA C~PBELL
