Bernie is another one of our “senior” employees. Again, not because of his age but because he has been at West Park since its beginning! Bernie has been one of our technicians for 42 years, preparing our new and used vehicles for the road. That makes for over 10 000 vehicles Bernie has worked on. He has often sacrificed his lunch hour or worked evenings if need be to get customers on the road in their new vehicle. Having spent that many years in our shop as a technician and having worked on that many vehicles, it is interesting to find out Bernie's pick as one of his favourite, “practical” GM vehicles. Any guesses? It's the Chevy Equinox! He likes the Equinox because it is good-looking, practical, easy to get in and out and affordable. Another of Bernie's GM favourites is the 1956 Chevy Bel Air, 2 door, hard top which he owned. It was a sharp-looking turquoise and white car and according to Bernie, “It was fast!” And how could a guy not pick this car as one of his favourites when it was the beauty that took him and his new bride on their honeymoon?! We haven't talked to Bernie about this yet, but wouldn't it be great if when he “retires” from West Park, he start detailing, preparing and restoring some old GM vehicles to begin a West Park collection while Bob is working on our history album? These guys will never be allowed to leave!
