This building began as an electric plant before being converted to manufacturing in 1905. In 1916 it became the first Dodge dealership outside Detroit, and later it was a Willys-Overland-Whippet car dealership. Its greatest renown came as Hudson Sales and Service, where Carl Miller sold Hudson cars for 25 years until 1958 as the world's last Hudson dealer. In 1995 the building was reborn as the Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum. Carl Miller's Hudson Sales and Service sold 1,969 new Hudson, Essex, Terraplane, Rambler, and Metropolitan automobiles, and one 1957 Nash.
