Every year the number of friendly, small town dealerships gets smaller, while the number of automotive multi-plex superstores grows at an alarming rate. McDonagh Dodge in Metuchen New Jersey is the latest casualty in the David vs. Golith type battle.
Prior to being renamed about 5 years ago, McDonagh Dodge was known as Suburban Dodge. Suburban Dodge proudly served central New Jersey for more than 40 years. Known for their great service and terrific deals, Suburban was THE Dodge dealer to deal with.
Suburban Dodge could also boast parental rights as the original selling dealer of arguable the most photographed and writting about Dodge Charger on the planet. The Red 1970 Hemi R/T SE currently owned by Steven Siegel. This Hemi Charger has graced the pages of numerous magazine, and can be seen on the covers of the HEMI book, by Steve Atwell, as well as several other how to books. In fact, My dad is the person who did the new car prep and all the warranty work on the Charger throughout the 70's, and I am the one that found all the dealer file paperwork and gave it to Steve. Everything from scribble notes, order forms, shipping bills, window stickers, repair orders and much more.
Suburban Dodge will always hold a soft spot in my heart for the fact that since 1967, there has always been at least one of my family members employed there. My Grandfather, father, uncles, brothers, cousins and myself have have worked in the historic dealership.
The building is being torn down and will be replaced with an apartment building. It is truely a shame
