Bob McDorman Chevrolet
Over the weekend Bob McDorman (78) auctioned (Mecum) off this personal collection of 150 vehicles which included Corvettes.
Bidders had the chance to get some one-of-a-kind models, such as 12 Corvettes that bear the serial number "1," meaning they were the first to come off the production line for their model year. He also owns at least one of every Corvette model year since the model began in 1953. The sale will go well beyond Corvettes, though, with models that predate the distinctive sports car, such as the Chevrolet S6, a two-door roadster from 1932. Along with my personal favorite final public production of the SSR. I did some checking with the Ohio Automotive Title Database which is open to the public and some of these vehicle had liens that where released on or around November 2. Also, the proceeds from the sale will help reduce his dealership's debt, which will lower his interest payments and make it easier to pay for improvements to the showroom. Today it was published in the Columbus Dispatch that Mr. McDorman had raised $7 Million dollars. Their are reports in the Columbus area that an "wind down" Chevrolet dealership is looking to purchase this location.
