Congrats to Mr. Stanley turpin, who announced he is retiring after 46 years in the auto business.
Lots of great memories, and stories I have heard over the years, one of the first ones was from Howard Franks, who was hired to sell used cars back in 1960, when they first opened. Howard was such a good salesman, he sold all 4 used cars on the used lot the first day, and had to walk home.
turpin introduced Alexandria to Subaru in the early 1970's, and also the electric Citicar, a cute litttle gas saver that never really took off.
and Isuzus, which are no longer being sold.
all good things must come to an end, 46 years is a good long trip down the road of life.
