Jeff Grimm and Grandkids

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Below is our owner, Jeff Grimm, giving a ride to 7 out of his 9 grand kids in a 1974 Buick Lesabre Convertible.  Looks like a pretty rowdy bunch!

Maybe GM could use this picture in a future Buick commercial…….

Lighthouse Service Team circa year 2000

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

We came across a picture of our service team from 10 years ago. Wow things have changed. We now have 2 times this many service employees, and only 3 current employees are in this picture from 2000 (Mike Grimm far left, Culley Vanlaecken, 3rd from left, Paul Runyon, back row center).  Enjoy!

Crash test of 2009 Malibu and 1959 Bel Air

Click the Link above to see a crash test video that is just amazing.  A 2009 Chevy Malibu is crashed head on into a 1959 Chevy Bel Air.  The phrase “they don’t make cars like they used to” definitely applies.  The driver of the Bel Air would have been killed instantly, and the Malibu driver would have been saved by the airbags and crush points. 

The saftey of vehicles today is fantastic.  This video drives home that point.

A trip down memory lane

These pictures were taken of the area that is now our service and employee parking.  All 3 of the houses pictured are gone.  The year is 2002.  Enjoy!

It is a miracle that a crash hasn’t happened more often with Lighthouse Automotive situated so close to a busy road.  Thankfully no one was seriously hurt.
