Everett GM dealer avoids closure
Published 5:11 pm Wednesday, April 21, 2010
Clyde Revord Motors in Everett was one of about 1,300 General Motors franchises across the country that got the wind-down order last year — very bad news if you’re in the business of selling cars.
But after a year of stress, the business finally got some good news.
Like pushing a big “undo” button, General Motors offered to renew contracts at 661 of those shuttered dealerships. And one of those offers was made to Clyde Revord Motors.
“We’ve been offered back our franchise, and we’ve accepted that offer,” owner Mark Revord said. “There are a few loose ends that need to be tied up.”
We’ll check back with the dealership soon to find out how it’s going. Clyde Revord Motors sells Pontiac, Buick and GMC automobiles.
