NBC News report
This is a great story from Brian Williams at NBC nightly news.
NBC-TV Report: Demise of Local Car Dealerships Leaves a Big Dent "If you grew up in an American town then you know how important the local car dealership is," said Brian Williams, anchor and managing editor of "NBC Nightly News," on the Wednesday, Nov. 19, edition of the show. "They donate the Chevy Malibu for the church raffle. They provide the van for the Meals on Wheels' volunteers." Local car dealers have been entrenched in their local communities for close to a century, and the third-generation owners of Wolf Chevrolet in Belvidere, Ill., exemplify the role they play beyond selling cars, NBC's Lee Cowan reports. "Auto dealers are anchors in their communities and when it comes to charitable work and philanthropic work, they are second to none," says David Hyatt, NADA vice president of public affairs.

I just watched the video - it was great.
The small town dealer has always played an important role in their community and I think that fact is lost by a lot of the people who are cheering for the Detroit 3's collapse. |

It's true. A lot of small town America surrounds the local dealer. I've been there and they seem to be a meeting place for the local folk.
