Grandfather actually... "J.J. Hart... 203 cars sold between July and August. 986 cars sold between January 1st and August. Appointed Dealer since September 18th, 1916."
He was one of the very first Ford dealers.
He started with Ford in 1906 as a mechanic in the NYC headquarters and worked...
My grandfather owned JJ Hart Ford. My father moved it out to Riverhead in '73 and kept it open until about '82. He still owns that property in Brooklyn.
