Flint & Genesee Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on Dec. 17.
In 1928, Clyde Applegate opened a car dealership in downtown Flint during the city’s heyday. Two generations later, Susan Applegate continues the legacy that was built almost 100 years ago.
“My father took over the dealership in the late sixties, then I took over from my father a few years ago,” says Applegate. “My favorite part about carrying on the legacy is being able to continue the traditions like participating in big events such as Back to the Bricks.”
Although Flint has had its ups and downs, Applegate Chevrolet has continued to thrive in the community.
“We were able to survive because we sold a good product at a good price to a hometown crowd,” says Applegate. “We have been active in the community since we opened and I think that people appreciate it.”
Applegate Chevrolet strives to continue to be a good community member for years to come.
