Looks identical in it's layout to the one on Bird Rd. (S.W. 40th St.) just W. of S.W. 87th Ave. (The old Galloway Rd. ) run, operated for many years by "Vinnie" (Can't locate the card to get last name)

The Caribe Muffler chain was owned and operated by my grandfather, George T. Wilby. He was not a pilot, but a true entrepreneur. He also built and operated the 27th Ave Drive-in Theater, North Dade Theater and The Twin Drive-In Theater in Miami.

According to my buddy that runs the Mad Hatter Muffler Shops......
"this is Miami's FIRST muffler shop.It was opened by an Eastern Airline pilot named George Wilby, who flew primarily over the carribean...Vince's father Tony, worked there before opening his shop on bird road in 1956. Here is the original phone number N E 5-6513."
