History
Established in 1924.
CAR 1 is a 4th generation, pre-owned vehicle store offering late-model, quality, inspected vehicles.
Our staff has extensive experience and knowledge dating back to 1924.
Before establishing CAR 1, Larry was the third generation owner and operator of Nofzinger Pontiac-GMC in Archbold, Ohio. After selling the new car franchise in 1998, Larry & Aaron recognized a need for a dealership that could provide quality, pre-owned vehicles to consumers in a hassle-free environment. CAR 1 is that dealership. In 2001, Chad Baus moved back to the area and joined the family business.
Most recently, Larry passed the torch to Chad and Aaron. In 2012 they became Co-Owner’s of CAR 1. Chad serves as the company’s President of Sales and Aaron serves as President of Purchasing. Larry still works at the dealership part time, as does his father, Ed, and some days, Chad’s son, the fifth generation, helps out.
