Video of Texas GM and Chrysler dealer
"Frank A. Blakenbeckler III, from Waxahachie, Texas, owns the oldest Chevrolet dealership in the state of Texas, operating since 1926, when it was founded by his maternal grandfather.
He choked back tears as he told the committee, "It took me nearly 20 years to pay my parents for Carlisle Chevrolet. It took GM and Chrysler a mere 24 hours to steal Carlisle Chevrolet from me. This makes no sense. Why is this happening?"
Blankenbeckler's pain was palpable in the hearing room as he continued, "I am hurt. I feel violated. I am extremely angry. I wear my father's Bronze Star lapel pin on my coat. He was a member of the greatest generation. I am glad he is not alive to witness this travesty."
