Biographical or Historical Note: Between 1956 and 1964, Veale Motors, founded by Bob Veale, was located at the corner of First Street and Santa Rosa Avenue, Santa Rosa -- site of present-day (2021) Santa Rosa City Hall. Veale Motors was originally located in a small shop at 423 Fifth Street, but opened the Santa Rosa Avenue location on January 1st, 1956, with an expanded showroom and lot. With the imminent redevelopment of the area by the City of Santa Rosa, Veale Motors relocated again in May 1964, south to the former site of Comanche Chevrolet at 1015 Santa Rosa Avenue. While the Veale Motors name continued to be used until June 1967, the company began advertising as Veale Volkswagen at the time of their move and used the Veale Volkswagen name exclusively after June 1967.
