Used Truck Front Bucket Seats

50 years on a classic car ride

He can tell you "to this day" how many, the year, the make and model of every car his family ever owned. He's been keeping track since he was 4 years old. He still has all of the car cutouts from magazines dating back to that time.

When his family took a drive, "I would sit in the back seat and name them off. The Studebaker was the first car I ever named because of the bullet nose."

He was in eighth grade when he wrote a letter to General Motors, telling officials he wanted to be a car designer. They sent him an embossed brochure of all their cars, some of them concept cars of the future.

Next month, Neil Schrock celebrates 50 years with Sanderson Ford, and he can tell you about every Ford the dealership has had on its showroom floor.

His relationship with Sanderson began in August 1961, at the beginning of his senior year at Glendale High School. He was 17 years old and a member of DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America).

"I knew then I still wanted to be in this business," Schrock said.

DECA instructors helped him with his resume, and Sanderson was the first dealership he called. He showed up in a shirt and tie, and was personally interviewed by Don Sanderson.

Yes, he was hired - part-time from 3 to 5 p.m. every afternoon. He worked with Dave Kimmerle (now owner, who married Sue Sanderson) as a lot attendant. That meant cleaning cars and wiping off oil cans. He also sorted the nuts and bolts in bins for mechanics.

Before Sanderson opened its new car dealership at 53rd and Grand avenues, Schrock remembers a downtown weekend ritual each year, when the new models were introduced to the public.

"It was a big deal," he said. "People would come out of everywhere. That pizzaz is gone."

Schrock went from wiping off oil cans to being the new car "get ready" guy. He would check cars in for any damage. That was his job for two years, and soon, Schrock and co-worker Kimmerle were promoted to the main service drive, where they had their own racks to perform lubrication work for customers.

Both married in 1968; Schrock in October, and Kimmerle in November.

Shortly afterward, Schrock's life at Sanderson took a major turn. Sanderson asked him if he wanted to sell cars. Schrock and his wife, Mary, had their first child, and he was not sure he wanted to leave a steady paycheck for commissions. But, Sanderson convinced him he would be good at sales. In 1971, Schrock was driving a 1972 Torino GT with bucket seats; a sporty company car.
