Extensively, and I have also tried newspaper archives.

I get plenty of ads for cars in that era, but none of the dealership itself.

Call the local library. Sometimes they offer services like that.

Perhaps writing to Elizabeth Daniel directly. She might have some old pictures that she could share.

Looks like she is co owner of http://gazette.com/phil-long-dealers.../article/98966

GTC, There are literally dozens of print ads for this dealership on Pinterest and the Colorado Springs Gazette-Telegraph, which has a free trial period. You just might get lucky and find a pic of the dealership in one of them there.

Did a little homework and came up with this pic from Colorado Springs.
Obviously not 1970 yet. Dont ask where I got it from, did a bunch of different searches. Good luck.

Yes, I had found dozens of those ads in my searching.

Good work! I see that's from their Flickr page, and is captioned as around 1959 which fits with the models pictured, and the address cnr Weber and Kiowa is where they were situated before their move to the current location of Daniels Long.

My guess is that the dealership didn't look a whole lot different from that photo in 1970. The building that stands there today appears to be the same, just refurbished.

I may also write to Elizabeth Daniels, as suggested by karol, to see if she has other photos she may be willing to share.

As a side note, I see that Daniels Motors has been a constant supporter of the Colorado Springs Corvette Club since its inception in 1962.

Also search ebay. There is a Daniel dealership nameplate from Colorado Springs listed.

Also a license plate which may or may not be correct.
