Can't find Garton Motor Cars in California
I own a Aurora GRX.
And I am trying to trace back the other owners. I believe my car was in the newspapers nov. 29, 1981, in an article about Garton Motor Cars. I hope some can help me confirm it. |
If I remember right, they were in Escondido and or other part of North San Diego County. They were the Volvo dealers at one time, but I think they are long gone. Years ago I bought a Volvo wagon from them in Escondido, but they moved from there in the early 80s I think. I believe they moved to Carlsbad where they eventually sold out to another dealer.

thanks for the info.
I will try Carlsbad. |
Reference SkipB's post. A listing of the CA newspapers. Might be able to find a newspaper close by, then check their archives.
California Newspapers - California Newspaper List " I believe my car was in the newspapers nov. 29, 1981. " Too early for Garton Motor Cars to have had a web site, depending upon when they went out of business. CA Secretary of State might still have a listing for the dealer, inactive or active. |
I hope you can help me find the people behind Garton Motor Cars from Escondido in California.
I hope they can verify that my car was a showroom car in 1981. It is important for me to get it right. |
Check with the California Motor Car Dealers Association in Sacramento
(916) 441-2599 or Southern Calif Office (310) 306-6232 |
Thanks, I will try give them a call.

Would you be interested in selling your Aurora GRX? I owned one (had to sell it after I was laid off from my job 2 yrs ago). I am now looking for a replacement. Interested in selling? pls contact me: brotther@earthlink.net
