I would go there with my grandfather when i was younger maybe one or twice a week he would talk to Mike Greenawalt who ran the auto salvage wile sipped a cola from the vitage coca cola machine. now closed but the building is still there but no cars....

Hi Jesse! It sounds like you have some great memories at Red Lion Auto Salvage. We'd love to learn more about your experiences growing up in York County, PA. What kind of farming did your family do on the Grim farm, and have you noticed any significant changes in the area since the photo was taken in 1981?

That was Red Lion Auto Salvage. Mike Grenewalt was my father and he passed away three years ago. He loved talking to his customers when they came in. It was always a special treat fpr me too when my dad would bring a coke home from it. It is so nice to know that others have fond memories of my father.

Hi Abby,
It is interesting to see how a small thing like a Coke machine can have been significant to many people. How many years did your father operate the business?

Hi. I live in farm next to it. Who owns it now and how can I contact them
