PROFILE |
 |
Despite what you might think, Tuttle-Click Automotive Group does sell cars to Democrats. The firm operates about 10 new- and used-car dealerships throughout Orange County, California, and in Tucson, Arizona. The firm's dealerships sell Ford, DaimlerChrysler, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Hyundai, and Suzuki cars and trucks. It also operates Ford and Chrysler auto service centers. The company was founded by Holmes Tuttle, who sold Ronald Reagan a car in 1946 and ended up a prominent GOP fundraiser; he even persuaded Reagan to run for governor of California in 1966. Tuttle's son, co-CEO Robert Tuttle (a White House aide under Reagan), and Arizona-based co-CEO James Click own the company.
