I am very proud to announce that yesterday we publicized our purchase of the former Tunnmore Oldsmobile dealership on Delaware Avenue in Kenmore NY. It has been owned and operated by Roger Tunnmore as a used car dealer since the wind down of Oldsmobile almost 10 years ago. This will be the 9th dealership to join the group and we would like to welcome all of the employees and customers of Tunnmore to our family!

This marks our 20th purchase or aquisition since 1967 when my grandfather started our dealer group. Our intention to make this a resale center… for now.🙂

Funny thing I ran across the other day was that there is some never titled Olds on some dealers floorplans.  
I am sure the same thing will happen with Pontiac, not so much with Saturn since most were not dualed.

wow… that is a dealer who shouldn’t be in charge.

Thanks for the well wishes guys but much to Josh’s (as well as mine) dismay we will be selling more than just modded Camaro’s and Vette’s… there will be Mustang’s too. 🙂
