Eric Blaushild moved the Chevrolet dealerships at 16005 and 16222 Chagrin Boulevard to their new $3 million home at the intersection of Chagrin Boulevard and Lee Road in February, 1989. The business closed its doors in December of the same year. Cash flow problems emerged following a national decline in automobile sale, in part due to a proliferation of car models and increased manufacturer prices. Additionally, Blaushild found advertising the new location problematic due to zoning laws. A proposed sign and plans to add lights on building awnings were rejected by the City. That year, over 90 percent of new car dealers reported operating at a loss. | Source: Advertisement. Cleveland Plain Dealer, 12 March 1989, p. 30.Download Original File
