Car of the Week: 1973 Mercury Cougar A 1973 Mercury Cougar that found its way into one family's hearts. As a teenager growing up in Livonia, Mich., things changed for the Gogola family when Cas opened the Midwestern Auto District, a used car dealership in Wayne. The dealership was located on Michigan Avenue, and its niche was selling automobiles that were traded in at the local new car dealerships in the area. Cas Gogola created an exceptional business relationship with these dealerships that allowed him to have first dibs on their best used trade-ins, which he then offered for sale on his used car lot. Cas' teenage son, Chris, started working at the used car dealership when he was 15. He and his mother would drive to the new-car dealerships to pick up trade-ins and transport them to Midwestern Auto District where they would be added to the used car inventory. Chris filled this role for the next three to four years, then moved into the porter position.  See More Make your car our "Car of the Week"  If you've got an old car you really love, we want to hear about it!
