1964: Bonderchuk Chevrolet

BACK WHEN YOU COULD TELL A CHEVY FROM A FORD, BACK WHEN THERE WAS A PLYMOUTH, DODGE, DESOTO, CHRYSLER, FORD, LINCOLN, MERCURY AND EVEN A KAISER AND FRAZER, THERE WAS FRED BONDERCHUK AND HIS LOCALLY RENOWNED BONDERCHUK CHEVROLET. I REMEMBER THAT DEALERSHIP WHEN IT WAS ON SOUTH BROAD STREET NOT FAR FROM THE HAMILTON-TRENTON BORDER. ONE OF THE SAD SAGAS OF THE MIDDLE 20TH CENTURY WAS THE DEMISE OF THE "AMERICAN MADE" AUTO. THE EVER-INCREASING DEMANDS OF THE UNIONS AND THE LOWER PRICE AND HIGHER QUALITY OF THE IMPORTS DID US IN. AS MY FRIEND "POGO" FROM THAT OLD COMIC STRIP SAID,
"WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND THEY IS US!"
