A green Willys-Overland truck is parked in front of the Overland Gallery on Thursday on Blount Street. "We say it’s our art gallery sculpture," said Cynthia Dunn, manager of the Overland Gallery. The gallery is named after the building, which used to be a Willys-Overland car dealership in the 1940s. The truck, owned by George Keville of Winterville, houses a 1960 engine and a 1961 chassis. According to Dunn, the majority of the area around the building used to be involved in the car industry more than 70 years ago. Michael Dunn and Richard King of Dunn, Dalton LLC own the building.
