      According to a St. Louis Park history:

      The 1921 Federal-Aid Highway Act first created the notion of a national highway system. St. Louis Park had no car dealers so many residents bought Fords from Dahlberg Brothers Ford at 1028/1023 Excelsior Ave., Hopkins. On February 1, 1921, Oscar Dahlberg, Hilmer Olson, and John Schwister took over the Ford agency from Harry Leathers, who had had a car probably in the oughts. In 1953, Ward F. Dahlberg was the Business Manager, and Earl A. Dahlberg was the General Manager. At one time, Hopkins was called the car capital of the area, since it had three major car dealers.

      Oscar was living in Minnetonka township, Hopkins village, at 216 11th Avenue North (a $5000 house that he owned) with his wife, sons, and mother-in-law at the time of the 1930 census (April 8th). The household had a radio. Oscar and his wife were each 26 when they married. Oscar’s occupation is shown as President, Auto Garage. Oscar was not a veteran.
