yes he quit GM a long time ago. His muscle car business was the main thing that kept him going. Mid/late 70's about killed him. I believe it was around that time or early 80's is when his dealership went import. Exact time frame maybe a bit fuzzy, but I remember talking about it with my dad before his death. My dad knew him pretty well. Unfortunately, I only met him once or twice (when getting a motor built) before I was sent overseas in the 70's.
