Hoblit Motors Ford was first founded in Colusa in 1949 by Morley Hoblit “MD” and Wayne Hoblit in a 50/50 partnership. Wayne bought out MD after a 20 year partnership due to health issues in 1969. Some cool facts, in 1949, the average car cost $1,650, gasoline was $36 cents/gallon, bread was 14 cents/loaf and minimum wage was 40 cent/hr.
Wayne had two children, Beverly and David. After serving in the US Air Force, David returned to Colusa to work with his Father at the dealership. David transitioned into ownership in the 1970′s. The eldest of Dave’s three sons, Chris, joined with his father at Hoblit Motors after graduating college. Wayne is still involved in the leasing program here at Hoblit Motors.
Now in 2013, the average car costs approx. $30,000, gas is almost $4/gallon, but thanks to Ford, we have fuel efficient vehicles such as the C-Max and Fusion Hybrid.
