STILL STEVE'S!

1988 Yellow Pages Ad

Willam Frank Stevens in 1947
Willam Frank Stevens opened Steve's Auto Parts at 2707 East Michigan Avenue in 1946.  Steve was a beloved character who enjoyed driving his 1932 Zany (left), a Lincoln with a yellow paint job and all Lincoln logos replaced with chrome "Zany" emblems.  He passed away in 1968, but the business stayed in the family until 1995, when it was sold to Eagle Auto Parts which still runs the yard.  The original Steve's building still stands, though boarded-up and used for storage. 

Thanks to Bob Stevens for this contribution!
