Beckley's Auto Parts used to have just about any automotive or motorcycle part that you needed, especially odd or different items. Mr Beckley always said to me when I asked him if he had something, "If you could find it I probably have it." You had to browse through his attic & shelves for the oddity that you were searching for. Most of the time, he would have it. On the north side of the building, he had hundreds of used & junk motorcycles. The apartment building on the corner has been gone for many years. Circa 2015 AMERICAN ELECTRIC 513 South 8th Street The Beckley building was razed in late 2014 It was sold and American Electric is currently building a new building at the location As of April 22, 2015 it is not quite finished.
