Title	Lundstrom’s Mercury-Lincoln Dealership and Service
Date	1948
Creator	Clarence Burkett
Description	Lundstrom’s Mercury-Lincoln car dealership is pictured at 1631 K Street in this July 25, 1948 photograph. The business was founded in 1941 by the Wisconsin-born Fred Lundstrom. A man known for his automotive connections, it is said that he was friends with Ford Motor Company founder and mogul Henry Ford, and his wife, Edsel. After his sudden death in 1954, the reigns of the business fell to his son, M. Wesley. After four years, however, the dealership was sold to former Lundstrom sales manager Roy Jacobes who promptly opened R-J Lincoln-Mercury Sales. Over the next three decades, the property, which sits on the northwest corner of Seventeenth and K Streets, fluctuated between vacancy and auto-related occupancy until, in 1995, it became home to the Sacramento Ballet Company.
