Photos of the dealership where my father had purchased his Spanish Green Type 53 Sirocco second hand, Robert Zankl Volkswagen in Sterling Heights; later purchased by the Tamaroff Automotive Group and became a Mazda and a Yugo dealership in addition to being a Volkswagen outlet; prior to being purchased even later by Vyletel and the dealership being moved in house with Vyletel’s Buick dealership on Van Dyke and 18 1/2 Mile Road; still in Sterling Heights, Michigan.

These photos were taken by the Michigan Vintage Volkswagen Club in 1989, during a rally that the club was holding for vintage air-cooled Volkswagens at this time; not too long before the dealership had been purchased by Vyletel and moved to Vyletel’s location Van Dyke and 18 1/2 Mile Road.
