PROFILE |
 |
Galpin Motors will do just about anything to get you to buy a car, even feed you in its Horseless Carriage restaurant. Claiming to have sold the first Saturn, it also sells Lincoln, Mercury, Jaguar, and Mazda models, as well as used cars, from four dealerships and a Web site. The company also rents and customizes -- or "Galpinizes" -- cars, such as its 1978 "Gucci Thunderbird," sold with matching handbag, wallet, and scarf. Galpin Motors' dealerships have featured a King Tut exhibit, a miniature circus, and a $1 million presentation to Mother Teresa. Founded in 1946, Galpin Motors sells about 17,000 new cars annually and is owned and run by the Boeckmann family.
