Just to make it officially un-official because I have had a few PM’s asking about the new store at the Old Jack Adkins property, YES WE DID BUY IT. We own the property and are planning to put another used car facility in there, although we haven’t actually started yet. In the next few months there will be something appearing there so keep your eyes open. This will make 8 locations: 1. My joint in Wellsville on Main street, Basil Chevrolet Buick Pontiac GMC Cadillac (Me, Joe 3rd, Joe Jr.) 2. Joe Basil Chevrolet in Lancaster on Transit (Jim Basil) 3. Basil Ford in Cheektowaga on Walden (Chuck Basil) 4. Basil Chevrolet Buick Cadillac in Fredonia on Main Street (Robert Basil) 5. Basil Toyota in Lockport on Transit (Mike Basil) 6. Basil Resale in Williamsville on Transit (John Basil) 7. Basil Resale in Williamsville on Sheridan (John Basil) 8. The New Basil Resale in South Buffalo (Can’t Disclose Yet) ---

Jack Adkins Ford had three seperate buildings. 1. The Main Building- New Car Sale, Main Office, Garage, and Parts Department 2. Truck Center- Same side on Abbott but across the street of Main Building 3. Used Car Center- Other Side of Abbott across from Truck center Kevin Olsen was a used car salesman at Jack Adkins when I worked there back in the day.
