  Kemper Pontiac which is now Thuls (at least last I knew) The Volvo dealer was operated by Jimmy Swank. He also sold Honda motor cycles back in the mid 60's. My brother and me and another friend bought the first Honda Dream motor cycles from him. I dealt with Heavens Ford and Kemper Pontiac for years along with Royal Chevrolet. All good people. You don't see many hometown dealerships anymore.      Dixie

Swank later became Lerman Motors and sold Alfa Romeos and Fiats.  I worked there for about 10 minutes (actually about 8 months)  somewhere around 1976/77 after a brief stint at Marino's Lincoln Mercury.  Fun was when we had a dealer swap and I would have to run Alfa's between Bound Brook and Morristown. Those Alfa's were fun on 287!
