Remember Art Laws, owner and pitchman for Timberline Dodge? You know, the guy who said, "Your best buy or I'll eat my hat!" in the TV commercials. We were there when he signed the papers over to Kevin Cavenaugh, for the property of The Ocean (more on Kevin in future posts). Art has quite a story of his own. His dealership was c
losed down during the government takeover and restructuring of the auto industry in 2009. The family still owns and runs a tire dealership down the road on Sandy Boulevard. He was nice enough to deliver the classic line for the camera one last time.
I dunno, that hat looks kinda tasty...
ReplyDeleteApparently a customer once baked him a cake in the shape of his hat!That was the only time he ever "ate" it.
Delete"The family still owns and runs a tire dealership down the road on Sandy Boulevard." No they don't, Art sold what was left of Timberline and his Tire Factory Franchise To Joe Breslin of Breslin & Wallace Buick (who had also lost their franchise during the GM restructuring). Joe moved all the equipment and employees up to his Buick dealership at 3434 N.E. Sandy Blvd. where we run a full service garage, tire factory store, used car lot and body shop.
