A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually foggy morning in downtown Detroit when a delivery driver pulled up to Gene Messer Chevrolet. The mist seemed to wrap around the old building like a ghostly embrace. As he stepped out of his truck, the delivery driver noticed something odd—one of the showroom cars had its headlights on, even though it was broad daylight. Curious, he approached and found a sleepy-looking neighbor inside, who’d mistakenly left the keys in the ignition while catching some zzz’s. With a smile, the driver gently nudged him awake, saying, ‘Morning, sleepyhead! Time for your morning drive!’
2. In the dimly lit garage of Gene Messer Chevrolet, a delivery driver noticed something odd on one of the service bays. A small, dusty box sat among the tools, its label unreadable and its origin unknown. Curiosity piqued, he picked it up—only to discover that whenever anyone mentioned it aloud, the box seemed to change hands. Finally, someone dared whisper, ‘Maybe it’s just an old trophy?’ And sure enough, when no one was looking, the mysterious box vanished from the garage altogether. From then on, whenever a new employee arrived, they’d receive a warm welcome—and a friendly warning: 'Don’t mention that box!'
3. In the quiet hours before dawn, a delivery driver approached Gene Messer Chevrolet. The night air carried an unfamiliar scent—a sweet, metallic tang that seemed to come from within the showroom. As he entered, the delivery driver noticed a soft glow coming from under the hood of one of the cars. Curious, he popped open the bonnet and found a small neon sign reading 'Free Coffee'. Turning around, he saw an old man waving from behind the counter with a smile, saying, ‘Welcome to Gene Messer Chevrolet—we believe in treating our customers right!’
4. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver approached Gene Messer Chevrolet. As he stepped out of his truck, he heard a soft whimpering sound coming from inside the showroom. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old dog sleeping on one of the used cars’ seats. The pup yawned, stretched, then trotted over to greet him. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood stray who found comfort in the quiet showroom. By dawn, the delivery driver had become a hero—bringing the grateful canine home to its relieved owner.
