Wow, the L.A. Factory Branch. Some memories there. Way back they were located on Washington Bl. near down town. Company my dad worked for bought trucks there. Sometime in the late 60's they moved to Alameda Street. I used to go there in the 80's, taking trucks there for warranty work. That building is still standing, it's a shop for L.A. Unified School District. Still has a Detroit Diesel sign on it. Around 1990 the Factory Branch moved again to Santa Fe Springs. They never became a White/GMC dealer, just sold light and medium duty there until they closed. Heard GMC closed all the factory stores at the time. It's a Navistar dealer now.
