-----Hi Chris,,,No, Im not an NCRS member anymore. Cauley is a relatively old dealer, I think. I would have thought they would be safe, but there are a bunch of Chevy dealers in and around Detroit so from Obamas viewpoint I guess some could be sacrificed??? ........Bill S

^ all the Chrysler dealers that got chopped had contributed to the Republican party, that is why some of the OLDEST & BEST producing Chrysler dealerships got chopped.

scary, hitler - like tactics ...

I knew the Jack Cauley name rang a bell...check this note below gleaned of the net..

"...Six weeks before his death, Zora was guest speaker at "Corvette: A Celebration of an American Dream", an evening held at the showrooms of Jack Cauley Chevrolet Detroit..."

I'm sorry to hear of Jack Cauley or any dealer being on the axe list and can't believe how insensitive this process seems to be as so many long time dealers and their employee's lives are being upturned with seemingly no concern for their families or rich GM history many of these franchises are part of..

I heard that Mr. Ed was not being truthful in the article and that the dealership will infact bite the dust soon. I personally could not see how they would have made the cut with the extreme lack of sales that they have in their new vehicle sales.

I drove by Crossroads today, it is nearly closed up. The signs were down and a sign company employee was smashing them into pieces. The lot is almost empty. No cars in the service area.

So sorry to hear this news and regardless of what Ed was hoping for or said I truly feel for him, his employees and their families..

Crossroads aka Krumpholz Chev-Buick,was on Chevrolet's "SAVE" list when the economy first started to slip from the very beginning..but when GM filled for bankruptcy later on,they and one other nearby dealership were told all bets were off.They stayed a float for awhile on their own,and actually showed a profit..but the stress was building & the numbers just weren't coming in anymore.
Too bad,as Ed & his brother are getting out of the new car selling business altogether now.He said they'll service vehicles there for the time being,but not much longer.

His wife just came through a sucessful bout with cancer,so he is looking at life a lil differently today,and rightly so.
Thanks for all you've done for the business/hobby Ed.
