- Abandoned Buick Pontiac GMC Dealership - Bridgewater, PA. It's not everyday you see an abandoned car dealership. However, for this one, the owner, Wright, moved to a new and bigger location in Baden where they have more than double the amount of space that they had at this location. For me, as Pontiac owner and GM fan in general, it was a step back in time to see the scar of the Pontiac arrow. Enjoy the look at this old place!

Lots of memories for me at that dealership. That is where I bought my first car in 1996. It was a used 1995 Cavalier. As soon as I saw it I knew that was the car. 1995 was the first year of the redesigned look. I loved that car. Had a 10 disc Cd changer in the trunk.
I thought they were in Texas
I’d love to see more videos like this on abandoned dealerships or old dealerships being repurposed as other businesses. Judging by the promotional material in the showroom, it appears as though this building closed down sometime in the early 2010s.
I hope you do more of the abandoned car dealerships . I have always loved Buicks.
5th like
I love Buicks myself,I have a 97 LeSabre Custom,clean,blue cloth,white paint 45,000 original miles.I happy to be its second owner.
I miss the Pontiac G6 so much. They were one of my favorite cars all time
I had a 94 Pontiac red sunbird 5 speed with the 4 banger. I got it from my sister back in the day. Dang good on ⛽
Thank You very for Awesome Abandoned Video Wallie and Kayla
I absolutely love seeing these old dealerships. I own a 2008 Pontiac Vibe (rebadged Toyota Matrix) that I absolutely love.
That's the building I slept behind when I was out freighthopping last year. Heard a lot of trains in the night but slept decent.
I love the bunny that you found too! I LOVE BUNNIES!!!!! I also love guinea pigs because we own six of them and we just adopted a cat named Martha recently(we didn't name her that, she was named that but since she's an 8 year old cat we figured we would just keep that name.)
I love GM cars....mainly the older years
I think Saturn had some great vehicles and there are many still on the road. I loved my Pontiac Grand Prix. It was the 40th anniversary GTP💜 A drunk driver hit and totaled it one night. Beautiful car and I miss it!! I enjoyed this video🙂
Colussy Chevrolet is in bridgeville. The Chevy dealership in the rocks was Jim Crivelli.
Wright Pontiac / GMC moved down onto SR 65 between Conway & Ambridge by the Sheets
Definitely like these older dealerships, so much stuff inside. Definitely a cooler of beer down by the ohio river. Thanks for taking us along.
I didn't know you was local that's awesome
Pontiac made the last V8 in 1981. We had a Pontiac Iron Duke 4 cylinder in later years.
I used to work at Rio Rancho Buick, Pontiac, GMC in Pomona, California back in 2007.
The Buick Encore went on sale at the end of 2012, the Regal was sold from 2010-2020, the Verano from 2011-2017 and the Enclave of that generation from 2007-2017. The convertible, the Cascada, was sold from January 2016 to June 2019. It's safe to say that this dealership closed some time in the year 2016, possibly early 2017.
About 6 years of abandonment, looks pretty good. Most buildings still aren't very decayed yet at 6 years abandoned, though.

General Motor might as well sell Buick To Geely.
Wallie you’re in my hometown! That’s awesome 😎. Head further up route 51 to Chippewa township and check out the abandoned ponderosa . You can’t miss it.
I did a video there in the winter time! It's a shame they never reopened.
I bought a GMC truck at the dealer years ago Thank you for the tour
I had a friend who drove a red G5 - my mom drives a 2010 Matrix and I am currently looking at Vibes! I need my special 2009-10 Vibe!
I have a 2010 Pontiac g6 I love it!!
Thanks,nice video,big fan of GM cars and trucks myself,cool G-5.
The fact that the river is directly behind the building makes it the perfect spot to open a boat sale and service center. All you would need to do is clear out the trees, put in a dock and a boat ramp. That seems like it would be pretty easy to do.
💔 I’ll forever miss Pontiac
Absolutely love all the content and especially the railfan videos. Trains are amazing
Of the vehicles Buick was making that Wallie mentioned (that'd be the 2016 lineup except for the imported from China Envision midsize crossover) only the Enclave large crossover and (until 2022) the Encore subcompact crossover are being made and sold for US.
An updated version of the Verano (Summer in Spanish) compact sedan is still being made in China for that market (largest seller of Buicks worldwide).
The Cascada compact convertible was the first car ever imported from Poland to US (built by Opel at the time and sold with the same (waterfall in Spanish) name. It hasn't been built for anywhere since the year before GM sold the Opel and Vauxhall brands and factories to PSA Groupe, now Stellantis (today's Chrysler's owners).
General Motors Might As Well Seriously Consider Entertaining The Thought Of Selling To Buick To Geely, a well known Chinese automobile conglomerate who is the owner of Volvo.
Ask your doctor about Stellantis.
My first 3 car's were Pontiac i had an 04 Grand Am/ 06 GTO/ an now i drive an 07 G6 Gt convertible an i love it. I'll always miss Pontiac they have a place in my heart.
Enjoyed this video.
Wow that place is awesome! I love these abandoned dealerships, I wish there is more around my area.
You're TH-cam Channel is awesome, Wallie and Kayla! I really enjoy watching all of your content on your Channel. Both of your cars are beautiful, the Z24 and the Bee Friend. Have a Pontiaclicious Day! Have a Z24licious Day ! Have a Bee Friendlicious Day!
I own a 2004 Saturn VUE AWD V6. Just hearing the words Saturn Dealership just gives me excitement of seeing an abandoned one. My local one here was repurposed into a Mitsubishi Dealership sadly after being abandoned since Saturn went out of business. Love the car and the company but sad at its demise.
I appreciate your enthusiasm for the Pontiac.
Very cool building. I love my 1991 Sunbird Convertible. Some styling cues from the Cavalier, keep up the great work. Would love to see more abandoned dealerships. Y'all should do route 66 video(s).
Those are cool fun cars
Man I’ve not seen a sunbird in a while. I have a 87 Sunbird GT turbo that’s I’ve sadly not driven in years.
i live by there, i moved to rochester in oct 2012 and it was in business for a couple yrs, so i think it closed around 2015ish, people go back there to go fishing on the beaver river, a homeless guy was living back there a couple summers ago.
Loved this.. Thank you brotha
love the old dealerships, they had character unlike today's places. Enjoyed the video, I'll be watching as long as you keep doing videos. love them all
fast food restaurants especially. the new ones all look the same, the old ones had character.
You should look at the Mitsubishi dealerships they haven’t updated them in a long time probably since the 2000’s
Wallie, awesome and cool abandoned car dealership video! That'd make a beautiful house! Really enjoyed your totally awesome and cool video!
I'm personally not a GM person, I have mixed feelings for them but it's good that you love your Chevrolet and Pontiac and you're also right. GM is the ultimate king of rebadging. Take a Chevrolet Silverado. Basically what GMC does is throw on the GMC badge and the Sierra badge and call it a day. Pretty cool that there is also an old Pontiac label scar. I actually have a dealership in my area that, according to Google Maps, was a Saturn dealer at one point but when Saturn closed up in 2011, it turned into a Kia dealer. And also they don't make the Buick Verano, the LaCrosse, or the Regal anymore, sadly. It's all SUV's now because that's what everyone buys. There are some SUV's I like but I'm more of a sedan person. I grew up on sedans. We own a 2007 Toyota Yaris sedan and that car I call my childhood car because we brought that car in 2006 and I was born in 2008. We also used to own a 2008 Ford Focus that we got rid of in 2016 because it was over-heating and then we bought a 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage that we got rid of back in March of this year, and then we bought a 2021 Hyundai Elantra SEL. Our Yaris is still around even though we mainly drive the Elantra because our Yaris's air conditioning needs to be fixed and the Elantra's a newer car and my mom commutes to work in it every day. Our Yaris currently has over 175,000 miles and the Elantra currently has 13,000 miles.
Wow.
My mom had a 2001 pontiac sunfire 4 door too kh
Great video that place has everything rail fanning fishing and an old dealership
Nice setup. I'm like you. Going back to the river would make a great break/ lunch area. Get some great pictures.
Love this! Please do more car dealerships!!
I always thought this was a strange location for a car lot, stuck in between the Beaver river and a railroad trestle. It was Friend before being bought out by Wright automotive group. Their original location was in Beaver or Rochester and they originally sold Dodges.
BTW, I wish I could say I'm a GM fan but I'd be lying if I did 😔
Killing off Pontiac was a BIG MISTAKE.
Big.
HUGE!!!!!
I agree. Every time I see a Pontiac on the road, i admire it. They're slowly getting more and more scarce.
Amagine taking everything out of the building
Wallie you did an awesome job on the train show, that place was neat. You might get a shirt for yourself and Kayla to show I was there at the train show convention.
Hey Wallie, if you're in Tennessee at some point, there's an abandoned Save-a-lot in Millersville and an abandoned Waffle House about a quarter of a mile from the Save-a-lot.
I drive by that Save-A-Lot occasionally. I shopped there a few times before it closed. I think the last day of operation was January 27 or 28, 2018.
August 1, 2022 2:15 am
@@whattheheck1000 you're correct that it was 2018, but the closure date was the 12th of May. Nonetheless, i thank you for sharing your experiences in the area.
Awesome friend Hopefully your burn is doing ok
Awesome 👌 video
Before Wright owned it, it was Friend Pontiac and Dodge. The Dodge franchise that Friend bought came from Bob Stout Dodge . Stouts was where the court house is in Beaver. Corner or Market st. And Fourth.
Good video! I was wondering if you would ever do an abandoned Auto Dealer sometime! Hope to see more! Nice!
Great video wallie keep it up buddy :D
My dad loved Buick cars and when he had to have a heart transplant in 2005 and got a settlement he gave us his 1993 Buick and we loved that car it was a black cherry color and my hubby worked at a body shop also and he ended up blacking out one day driving down the road because he was a really bad heart patient and totaled out luckily it didn’t kill him at the time but my uncle worked at a car dealership back in the 80s for over 20 years and back then that was Subaru so my dad always had to have a ton of cars he always had like five in the driveway at one time...🚗🚙🏎🚕🚓🚘🚖🚔🚗🚙🏎🚕🚓🚘🚖🚔🚗🚙🏎🚕🚓🚘 and I recently got rid of my 1997 Pontiac Bonneville so I love cars my very favorite was a 1976 Datsun B210 five speed and I love Volkswagen bugs I once had a very rare automatic Volkswagen bug that never had a clutch it was pretty wild I wish I still had that one❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Well I wish you luck tonight winning the billion dollar lottery draw
I would love to play but in Utah we don’t have a lottery unfortunately🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
Jim Cirvelli Chevy was in McKees Rocks Pennsylvania. Colussy Chevy was in Bridgeville Pennsylvania.
My mom and dad had a 2002 Pontiac sunfire too a 4 door though all white too kh
That was a neat video there was a Saturn dealership in West Chester pa I think they got bought out by a Honda dealership
Great video! That river behind the dealership is the Beaver River that feeds into the Ohio River. Did you stop by Jerry's Curb Service?
Nice find

Not going to lie thought but Ik it’s 2024 but the verano is a good car and feels luxurious because of how the driver and passenger windowed have two pains of glass
Knowing how much you love cars and abandoned buildings, being able to find this must be a dream come true for you.
👍😎amazing video on youtube
Damn this was down the street from my childhood home
I have never heard of that place
There abandoned carlots on 68 in Springfield north of Springfield
Shame GM got rid of Pontiac I liked there vehicles anyway another awesome video they never disappoint keep up the good work
By the end every Pontiac was just a rebadged Chevy.
@@misterhat5823 true
You are under attack by me! Hahahahaha!
Man 2017 I graduated high school
Jim Crivelli in McKee Rocks
Wallie have you ever been to Summit racing equipment in Talmadge Ohio , really nice.
I think the garage part is storage for some reason. Maybe the people trying to lease it out are doing that. Seeing its been like this for years could be why. I know of a old school that some rich guy uses as storage in my home town. Its always sad to me things that could be resold or used just sitting in places to just go to waste.
Yesterday Wendy’s menu board was on fire in Delavan Wisconsin yesterday
Good luck with your video i love your new funny video 😂
Surprised they left the lifts behind.. most places take them or sell them..
I went there right when they closed and the sales ceo manager gave me 2 cars!! For free...!!
Beaver County outdated?! My mom and dad are from Beaver County! 😂. BTW, that’s the Beaver River you see behind those weeds.
Wow thats a first!
The opening going towards the river was probably made by the employees so they could do what you said: have some beer and fish.
Hey Wallie!!
Good video
I hope did get heavy rain storm in you area my boyfriend have to Buick LeSabres cars
the poniac arrow was back there i think
Cool😀
Fun fact Pontiac only grand prix rag top was in 1967 only ,motor trend car of year in 1965 was Pontiacs February 1965 issue
Ur getting me in trouble lol my gf mad I'm worked up about cars due ur video
Once I heard Pontiac I knew it must have been closed for a long time
👋
My grandparents and parents only used to buy pontiacs now buy nissans
Do more dealerships
There is another Bridgewater in NJ
Dale Earnhardt had a car lot in north Carolina
I have the “miken pontiac” arrow from Butler Pa. Might be willing to sell it.
Yeah I need a 50 by 32 or even a bigger one too maybe butin or really around or close to Williamsport Pennsylvania 17701 usa too ok kh
Yeah I got a 2000 Grand Am GT. Use that as my daily and got a 2018 Dodge Challenger for leisure driving. It is a shame they got rid of Pontiac but unfortunately GM couldn't finance their money well and Obama had to bail them out. Oldsmobile particularly their older 60s and 70s vehicles were great, back during the muscle car Era. Carmakers are too afraid to experiment or bring back older car designs.
The potty chair was for their "senior" executive.......lol
It appears that the property is owned by Bruce Reed Business Trust.
Why Nissan though?
I have a black g5 if you want to trade lol
I do want another one. Lol
I used to be a Chevy fan. Then I bought a Ford.
