THEN: Bill Whittaker Ford-Mercury dealership opened in the late 1960s on Stockbridge Road in Great Barrington. Elmer Lane photo.
For a brief time in the mid-1960s, the Stockbridge Road site in Great Barrington shown above was Angelo’s Snack Bar. The building was expanded and became Bill Whittaker’s Ford-Mercury dealership in the late 1960s. Mr. Whittaker (1922–2012) was a legendary car salesman and auto dealership owner who was associated with most major car brands over five decades in different locations. The expanded building later housed an antiques flea market, an early version of Berkshire Community College South Campus, and other auto dealerships. As shown in the present-day photograph below, it is now home to The East — Asian Cuisine, as well as Berkshire County Plumbing Supply.
