The whole area was involved in bootleg ging.” • No one seemed to regard bootlegging as immoral, he added. “The bootleggers were nice people,” he said, “and most of them were well-off.” At the time, he noted, cars were delivered by rail in box cars. “The cars had to be lifted by block and tackle to the ceiling of the box car,” he said. “It could take half a day to unload a few cars.” “Jack Haley was the freight agent at the time,” he added, “and Shore In surance was one of the first motor vehicle agencies in Keyport.” The cars were off-loaded at a station between first and second streets, he noted, and driven or towed to the deal ership.

When Thomas Lyttle bought the Matawan dealer ship in 1961, it was bankrupt. Drawing on his ex perience as a sales manager for a chain of 16 dealer ships, Lyttle turned the business around within a short time. Now located in Keyport, Tom’s Ford is one of the Bayshore’s most successful family businesses. Getting the business going at first was “very, very tough,” Tom Lyttle said. “We lost $30,000 in the first 45 days,” Lyttle re called. “After that, it turned around. The dealership was located at 60 Lower Main St. in Matawan Township, now Aberdeen. The building now houses T&C Motors. The Mount-Barrett dealership had been founded there around 1920, Lyttle said. Then it became Matawan Ford. The business was sold again, Lyttle said, and even tually was foreclosed by Universal CIT. “I was with Yonkers Ford then and I wanted a small agency,” Lyttle said. “So, I bought it.” Lyttle began his carreer as a Ford salesman in 1948 with Yonkers Ford. By 1960, he was sales manager for 16 dealerships owned by the firm. An aerial photograph shows how the intersection of Routes when it was planning to move from Matawan to its present “Basic know-how and hard work” enabled him to 35 and 36 looked before local auto dealerships sprawled home. In Matawan, it had been located by a site occupied along the highways. Tom’s ford had the photograph taken by car dealers since 1920. put Tom’s Ford on the right track, he said. “I was going out of my head,” he added, trying to appease customers who had been dissatisfied with the bankrupt dealership. Sales in the early 1960s were boosted by Ford’s in troduction of the Mustang, a car which was “very popular, but hard to get,” Lyttle noted. Within five years, Tom’s Ford had grown so that it needed more space. In 1965, the dealership moved to its present showroom on Route 35 in Keyport. The next year, advertisements for Tom’s Ford featured Mustangs, Falcons, and Thunderbirds, and also introduced Lyttle’s son, Robert, as “future presi dent of Tom’s Ford.” Robert Lyttle, now 30, is vice president and general manager of the dealership. “I started working here in 1972 as a part-time car washer,” Robert Lyttle said. “I’m still not adverse to going back and washing a car now and then.” He is scheduled to become president of the firm next year. “This has always been a family business,” the younger Lyttle said. “When my father bought the dealership, he was interested in bringing the family in with him.” In 1965, Tom’s Ford moved to its present showroom on every year, and more members of the Lyttle family have Other family members working at Tom’s Ford are Route 35 in Keyport.

Sefack, who with Sol Glassner purchased the Chevrolet dealership nearly two years ago, wants to see his customers—and wants them to see him. “I have no qualms about someone just popping his head in the door and saying, ‘I’ve got a problem,” Sefack says. Making it easy for a customer to talk to the owner about a problem, Sefack believes, makes economic sense. “A dissatisfied customer,” he says, “will tell 10 people he’s dissatisfied. A satisfied customer will tell only four people. You need 2V2 times as many satisfied customers to make up for the dissatisfied people.” In addition to the economics, Sefack has a personal interest in avoiding dissatisfied customers. “I live in this community,” he says. “I try to take care of people, because I know I’m going to run into them—at the supermarket, on Main Street, or somewhere else. I don’t want to be embarrassed by my business.” Although - Sefack and Glassner have owned Future Chevrolet for only two years, the dealership’s roots were planted in Matawan approximately 50 years ago.

Now Towne Chevrolet dominates 10 acres on Route 35, Middletown, and Tynan recent ly became its sole owner. But he continues to regard the operation as a “ small store.” Tynan was a Chevrolet district manager with General Motors when he became a partner in Towne Chevrolet with Ron Mc Carthy. McCarthy had bought the dealership in 1961 from Jack Weiler, who had sold Chevro- lets and Oldsmobiles there for more than 20 years, Tynan says. As district manager, Tynan had come to know many of the dealerships in the area, he recalls, adding, “ They used to call me the big s.o.b. from the factory.” When Tynan bought into Towne, he says, he was already planning to move the deal ership to Middletown. “ Middletown had not been considered an open point for a Chevrolet dealership by G.M. until 1968,” he says. General Motors considered many factors when deciding where dealerships might open, he explains, including an area’s popu lation and where other dealerships were located.

Page 22 THE INDEPENDENT January 25, 1984 Local Dodge dealer benefits from Chrysler's comeback Remsen joins 'American Revolution' There is a striking parallel between the remarkable recovery of the Chrysler Cor poration and the renaissance of Remsen Dodge. Most people are familiar with the prob lems which Chrysler encountered several years ago. A dwindling share of the auto market and several years of staggering losses brought it to the precipice of complete collapse. But with the leadership provided by Lee Iacocca, a government-guaranteed loan, and a dramatically different line of cars, Chrysler rebounded. It has recaptured its share of the ~ market—and the reputation for leadership in technology which it enjoyed earlier in its history. It grabbed the lead in front-wheel drive cars, set the pace with its five- year/50, 000-mile warranty, and rebuilt its reputation for performance, dependability, fuel economy, and styling and comfort. Iacocca selected “An American Revolu tion” as the theme of Chrysler’s new marketing program, and John Moschber- ger, general manager of Remsen Dodge, believes the theme accurately describes what has happened to his dealership. When the dealership was acquired by the Straub organization, Moschberger says, it was floundering. It was located in Matawan, was deep in debt, and appeared ready to close. ."Under the new ownership, and with a new name, Remsen was moved to new quarters on Route 35 between Holmdel and Bedle roads. Years ago, the showroom had been occupied first by Straub Motors and then by an American Motors dealership, All American. — The move was made at the depth of the recession in auto sales, Moschberger remembers. “ Hard times and high interest rates near ly put us under again and again,” he says. “ But a loyal and enthusiastic work force and a really driving determination kept us going. We survived to enjoy today’s re newed interest by the car-buying public.” Just as Iacocca deserves much of the credit for Chrysler’s dramatic recovery, Moschberger says, the employees at Rem- W/ j A t M M r n i e m & n , THE BEST DODGE CARS & TRUCKS EVER BUILT*** ■>^a ***ARE BEING BY BUILT TODAY! v - v ■fek SEE THEM HEBEI Caravan LE Omni SE Dodge 600 2-Door Convertible Daytona Turbo Z HWY. 35 & HOLMDEL ROAD, HAZLET 1
