Ohio Nissan Dealers Celebrate 30 Years

    GARDENA, Calif. - Last month marked the 30th anniversary for Stang Motor 
Sales of Elyria, Ohio; Tri-City Motors, Inc. of Tallmadge, Ohio and Bedford 
Nissan Inc. of Bedford, Ohio.  All were commemorated for 30 years of successful 
operations by Nissan North America, Inc. during recent recognition ceremonies.

    Stang Motor Sales of Elyria, Ohio began in the early to mid 30s selling
Hudson's and Studebakers.  Harold Stang first passed the business down to his
sons, James J. and Robert H., whose own sons now serve as the finance manager
and sales consultant for the dealership.

    Tri-City Motors, Inc. of Tallmadge, Ohio, began in 1959 representing
Studebaker, Triumph and Saab in advance of Nissan (formerly known as Datsun).
Roy Lewis, dealer principal, passed the business on to his son, R. Michael
Lewis, who is now president and general manager.  Roy's daughter, another son,
and his son-in-law, are all part of the dealership management team.

    Bedford Nissan Inc. of Bedford, Ohio began in the 60s and has only sold
Nissan and Datsun vehicles.  Owner Phillip Greenberg passed the dealership on
to his son, Jeffrie, whom now serves as president and dealer principal.

    Each of the dealers celebrated their anniversaries by running special
sales events during the month and holding employee luncheons to recognize
staff for their role in their continued success.

    In North America, Nissan's operations include styling, engineering,
manufacturing, sales, consumer and corporate finance, and industrial textile
equipment.  Nissan in North America employs more than 20,000 people in the
United States, Canada and Mexico, and generates more than 70,000 jobs through
more than 1,500 Nissan and Infiniti dealerships across the continent.
