Old Duncan's car lot bodyshop.
This building is not historic except as being a part of a successful car lot for many years. Folks may remember Duncan's Chrysler Plymouth Jeep Eagle located at 704 E. Race Street in Searcy AR. They may chuckle as they remember V. W. Duncan, famous for the saying, "What Ole Po Dunk says it is, it is!"
Po Dunk was a fantastic salesman and started the car business at 202 S. Main in 1946. He moved to the Race Street location and in 1964 acquired the Chrysler-Plymouth line and added Jeep products in 1979. Duncan's had great repeat business due to good service by excellent family members and employees.The business closed in approximately 2008.
The old bodyshop building was in disrepair and the family decided to remove it.
In this picture you can see the surrounding area. And in the picture below you can see the attack that started the demolition. So we can accurately say that another part of Searcy's history has been taken.
