Prospect Motors Rally
Amador County – One final reminder…residents of Amador County are invited to a rally at noon Saturday to show support for Prospect Motors and to encourage GMAC, the corporation that finances the Jackson dealership, and General Motors to allow the business to continue. Frank Halvorson, owner of the three new car dealerships operated by Prospect Motors, announced in December that he would close because GMAC, formerly known as General Motors Acceptance Corp., decided to halt the lines of credit needed to finance inventory and other parts of the operation. Jamie Lubenko, executive director of Amador Vintners, said in an e-mail that the rally is intended to show support for Prospect Motors in hopes of influencing GM and GMAC and to show support for other businesses in the area affected by the economic downturn. The rally will be in the dealership parking lot, 11361 Prospect Drive, just off Highway 49 near Ridge Road. Staff Report
