Can't find Garton Motor Cars in California

[orskov]

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.

Reference SkipB's post. A listing of the CA newspapers. Might be able to find a newspaper close by, then check their archives.

" 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.
