They sure did rust!
This looks like a north east Duster by the mid 1980's

Is that a Gremlin on the left in the background (Red)?
Also- haven't heard of that store in decades! Whatever happened to it? Bought out? Go under?

Chevette, Gremlin, Monte Carlo, Custom Cruiser, Ninety Eight, and Monaco to name a few.
I bought a 71 Duster in 1978 when I turned 16 and stuff used to fall out of the trunk because it was so rusted. My friends called it the Ruster.

I can.
Our closest one was in Horseheads in a plaza with Great American. The last Great American I remember seeing was about fifteen years ago. That plaza has been turned into offices.
Up the road from both of those was a plaza that held Nichols department store and up the road from that was another one that held Hills. The plaza that held Nichols got bulldozed and a warehouse/corporate offices for a regional beverage supplier was built. The Hills plaza is empty.
And across town in the bigger plaza that held KMart and Woolworth. Everything in that plaza has changed except KMart.

Used to eat in the restaurant in McCrory's while shopping in the mall. Jamesways and Ames used to be scattered around. Pretty soon all the big old chains will be gone.
Didn't take long for 'em to rust out in the rust states, that's for sure.

There was one on Stewart Ave.
Which is now Metropolitan Blvd.
Changing the name didn't help.

How about Caldor's? Bought my copy of Pac-Man for my Atari 2600 there and my 45 record of Jake Geiles- " Centerfold"
