Last Friday I was out visiting several of our dealers. In the late afternoon I stopped in to see the good folks at Nash Chevy just south of Lawrenceville, Georgia, on Scenic Highway. It's a very large dealership with well over three paved acres and a variety of buildings including a large showroom, service department and body shop, it also boasts one of the largest GM parts warehouses in Georgia. Nash is an institution, having opened in 1955 �that's 54+ years of selling a classic American brand.I grew up in a Chevy household too, my father worked for my mother's uncle at Ed Stinn Chevrolet in Cleveland Ohio in the 60's and he owned his own Chevy store in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. As a boy I dreamed of big block Corvettes and SS Camaros. It was a pleasure to see that although everything has changed�the tradition of performance and clean design remains.
The all new Camaro is a wonderful looking car with hints of the original upright muscular pony car plus a good portion of modern technology. Nash had three brand new models parked under their overhang next to the showroom. An
other new model that caught my eye was the 2010 Equinox crossover. Again, this is a typical clean, direct looking Chevy design with just the right amount of chrome and style. Nash was delivering one to a young women who was obviously delighted as they took her picture next to its slippery shape. It gets up to an amazing 32MPG on the highway and looks like it has plenty of space inside.I'm a sucker for trucks and after visiting with manager Mike Sadlock, I walked out past an entire collection of commercial trucks they have on the lot�big dumps, utility bodies, and several lines of thee quarter ton and larger Silverados all sparkling in the afternoon sun. I just had to take some shots. What can I say...cut me and I bleed bow ties.
