WELCOME TO SO YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE 159 CARS I HAVE OWNED SINCE 1958 . . . CARS HAVE BEEN MY LIFE SINCE I COULD CRAWL.
I AM 77 YEARS OLD ON THE 17TH OF MAY, 2018. 54 YEARS IN THE LUXURY AND FINE CAR BUSINESS TAUGHT ME MANY VALUABLE TRUTHS. SPEAKING OF TRUTH, I HAVE BEEN A ROTARIAN FOR 49 CONSECUTIVE YEARS SOMEHOW WITH PERFECT ATTENDANCE. MY ROTARY JOURNEY STARTED IN INDIANAPOLIS, KOKOMO, AND INTENSE INVOLVEMENT WITH THE PERU INDIANA CLUB. I HAVE LIVED BY THE WORLD FAMOUS ROTARY FOUR WAY TEST ALL MY LIFE. THE FIRST ONE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT – IS IT THE TRUTH? YOU SEE, THE REASON THAT I HAVE AMASSED OVER 9,000 HAPPY GLOBAL OWNERS IS BECAUSE I HAVE TO LIVE BY WHAT I SAY.
I LEARNED THE VALUE OF A SINGLE CUSTOMER IN 1963 ON A FLORIDA CHRYSLER PLYMOUTH SANDLOT IN THE OLD QUONSET HUT BUILDING SELLING PART TIME AS A RETURNING VIETNAM VETERAN STATIONED AT ELGIN AFB. THE ONLY PEOPLE I COULD SELL WERE THE PEOPLE I BROUGHT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP. I SOLD 172 UNITS IN 14 MONTHS BEFORE THE AIR FORCE TRANSFERRED ME.
HERE IS A TRUTH. WITHOUT A CUSTOMER, YOU’RE OUT OF BUSINESS. ANOTHER TRUTH. YOU CAN’T BUILD A BUSINESS WITH UNHAPPY OWNERS. ANOTHER TRUTH. BECOME AN EXPERT IN PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE AND A SPECIALIST IN PRODUCT PRESENTATION.
KNOWLEDGE HELPS YOU EARN THE RESPECT OF PROSPECTS AND CUSTOMERS AND LETS YOU SPEAK WITH MORE CONFIDENCE AND AUTHORITY ABOUT YOUR PRODUCT. THIS IS FROM THE 1964 PONTIAC SALES MANUAL AND SALES PROMOTION DEPARTMENT, PONTIAC MOTOR
DIVISION.
I AM THANKFUL TO HAVE BEEN AMONG THE HIGHEST PAID HIGHEST ACHIEVING IN CAREER HISTORY COAST TO COAST THAT TOOK PLACE IN HORRIBLY DEPRESSED ECONOMIES, HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MARKETS, BRUTAL WEATHER CONDITIONS AND MARGINAL FACILITIES. ALSO ANY OF YOU WHO HAVE EVER MADE A MAJOR MOVE IN YOUR LIFE CAN APPRECIATE SAFE GUARDING PHOTOS AND SUPPORT MATERIAL FOR 159 CARS AND MY CARREER TOO.
I KNOW MY PRODUCT BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE IN MY ARENA. I KNOW MY COMPETITORS VEHICLES BETTER THAN THEY DO IN MOST CASES. IT THRILLS ME TO PROVIDE VALUABLE INFORMATION AIDING IN THE ACQUISITION OF A VEHICLE EVEN IF THEY DON’T BUY FROM ME. FOR MANY YEARS, I WAS WITH CADILLAC, LEXUS, BMW AND INFINITI WHERE I WAS MERELY A SERVANT TO THE SOCIALLY AND FINANCIALLY PRIVILEGED.
IN ADDITION TO BEING A ROTARIAN, I HAVE BEEN A 4TH DEGREE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS IN 1962 IN THE PHILIPPINES, A MASON BARTLETT LODGE 211, SCOTTISH RITE VALLEY OF MEMPHIS, AL CHYMIA SHRINERS MEMPHIS, VFW LIFE MEMBER VIETNAM LAOS, AMERICAN LEGION LIFE MEMBER, AND THE HARDEST OF ALL TO GET MY TEXAS LICENSE TO CARRY HAND GUN.

IT IS MY HOPE THAT THIS COLLECTION WILL BRING YOU GREAT JOY AND A SATISFACTION FOR HAVING LOVED SO MANY VEHICLES THAT ARE NOW RESTING IN PIECE.
