Greetings!
Happy Canada Day! Canada is turning 144 years old tomorrow - enjoy your long weekends. Just a reminder we are closed July 1st and July 2nd. If you have been in our dealership or driven by lately you may have noticed that all of our signs are missing - don't worry! We are re-imaging our building as per GM to give it a fresh new look and we are open for business as usual during this transition. This newsletter contains some exciting past and upcoming events as well as new vehicle information and other pieces of interest. Also celebrating its 58th anniversary is the Corvette. The first Corvette rolled off the assembly line in Flint, Michigan on June 30, 1953. It sold for $3,250(!!!!)
Lastly...THANK YOU West Niagara for Voting us #1 in New & Used Car Sales! Sincerely, Wills Chevrolet Buick GMC |
