| In 1914 Roscoe C. Lacy began selling Model T Fords on Main Street in Catskill, New York. He had to convince the prospective buyer that an automobile was faster, safer, more dependable, and more economical than a horse. Back then, before the sale was consummated it was generally required of the dealer to instruct the buyer how to keep the car out of a ditch and the best methods of avoiding frightened horses. With a sound foundation Calvin Lacy, at the young age of 18 took over Catskill Ford in 1931, after his father's death. By 1961, the business had expanded to such an extent, Calvin purchased a tract of land on Maple Avenue and erected the largest showroom and best equipped service garage in the area. On January 1, 1966 Catskill Ford became R.C. Lacy Inc., with Calvin and his two sons, Roscoe and Calvin as principles. Today Rock and Cal are joined by Rock's two sons Danny and Jimmy, and Cal's son Devin. R.C Lacy Inc., the oldest Ford Dealer in the State of New York, is still family owned and operated. |
