West Park's 42nd Anniversary

West Park Motors began doing business 42 years ago this month when Dick Penner and Henry Stoesz formed a partnership to purchase the GM dealership from Dave Beckert in September of 1968. Bob Stoesz, Cornie Peters and Bernie Klassen were part of the original West Park team in 1968 and are still with us today. During those 42 years, West Park has been incredibly blessed with loyal customers and staff who have been the reason for any successes we’ve enjoyed. In celebration, we would appreciate any photos you might have of our building, vehicles, etc. circa 1968. We would also love to post pictures on this site of any vehicles purchased at West Park over the years – especially pictures of some of the unique vehicles we have sold or pictures of a West Park vehicle in an interesting place. If you have photos you could share, please post them to our Facebook page in September or e-mail them to jeremy@westparkgm.com. Thanks for your participation. (See some examples below.)

The Artist Behind Our Water Feature

This last weekend we were treated to a fairytale experience at the home of Todd and Lisa Braun's near Altona. Todd is the artist who created the beautiful rock water feature standing near West Park's front doors. Clients and friends of Todd and Lisa's spent the evening wandering along stone paths that lead us underneath massive stone gates and past beautifully carved basins and other stone sculptures, all glowing from the setting sun and later, the candle light of the carved stone lanterns and bonfires. Music lingered throughout the garden, serenading people as they taste-tested one of Lisa's many delectable creations. We truly felt like we had escaped to a secret world. They conduct tours of the gardens for a small fee and you may be able to twist Todd's arm to sell you some of his beautiful creations on display or customize a piece just for you. Elemental Stone, Todd's business, will soon have a website but it is currently under construction. If you are interested in contacting Todd and Lisa you can e-mail them at element@sdnet.ca. Thanks, Todd & Lisa!
