REGISTER NOW > Reliable Minnesota’s Sam Phillips, the 2nd “official” professional hockey player in the United States–and, by the way, my wife’s father–was also the largest Chrysler dealer in Northern Minnesota’s Iron Range. Sam’s dealership, Reliable Motors, is where you bought your new Dodge Desoto or Chrysler Imperial, or any number of other chromium delights to cruise by the 10,000 lakes. Reliable is now a dusty lot, and, regrettably, there will be many, many more, as Chrysler and GM–now in Federal bankruptcy courts– shut down dealerships in all 50 states. So, what’s the good news? There will be a lot of property trades for investment brokers in commercial service firms as the shuttered dealerships–typically in great mainline locations in the Midwest–are sold and repositioned for new uses. The bad news is that we will lose a lot of entrepreneurs like Sam as Detroit is retooled.
