Michigan Auto Dealer Laments Lost Dealership
A Pontiac area auto dealer testified before a subcommittee that General Motors stripped him of his Pontiac franchise after he publicly denounced factory discounting as factory bootlegging. He blamed GM executives and workers for slashing dealer sales, citing a drop from 700 annual Pontiacs to only 392 sold by local dealers, and claimed a Rotary Club speech led to his loss. He said discount offers to plant employees drained the market, and noted subsequent denial of further dealership support.
