The Howard Motor Company Building (also known as California Custom Coach, Inc.) is a historic automobile showroom located at 1285 E. Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena, California.

Description and history[edit]

The Howard Motor Company built the showroom in 1927; it was one of several car dealerships built along Colorado Boulevard. The building is designed in a California Churrigueresque style of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture; its design includes a decorative frieze, chamfered corners, and an elliptical arched entrance topped by the dominant Churrigueresque element. The Bush-Morgan Motor Company moved into the building in 1938 and occupied it through the 1950s. The building was still used as an auto showroom in the 1990s.^[2]

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 18, 1996.^[1]
