Sad Day Today

The assets of Orr Cadil­lac in Spring­field, MA  were sold at auc­tion today.  The end of another era.  The fam­ily came to Spring­field in 1921 and began sell­ing Nash, Stude­baker and Pierce Arrow auto­mo­biles, later adding the Cadil­lac line in 1940.  Still a fam­ily owned busi­ness, GM pulled the fran­chise when taken over by the “Chicago Mob” cur­rently in the White House.  They attempted to make a go of it as just a used car seller, but finally gave up.  Here in West­ern Mass­a­chu­setts our clos­est dealer will now be in Hart­ford, Connecticut.
