Shaker Motors Inc., located on the northeastern corner of the Chagrin Boulevard and Lee Road intersection, was opened in the March of 1947. The dealership operated as Shaker Autos Inc., Studebaker from mid-century to 1955, at which time it became known as Halken Shaker Motors. Halken dealt in the the Lincoln-Mercury-Cougar line until 1974, when the dealership moved to 27100 Chagrin Boulevard as Kenny Lincoln-Mercury-Cougar. David Blaushild acquired the property and opened a Datsun franchise in order to offer a greater variety of cars to his customers. The business was operated by David Blaushild's son, Steve, following his death, and became the largest volume Nissan dealership in northeast Ohio. The Nissan Dealership moved to 16101 Chagrin Boulevard around 1981. | Source: Shaker Heights Public Library, Local History CollectionDownload Original File
