Notes |
- In 1927, Aaron Charapp opened Avenue Motor Company, a Dodge dealership in Braddock, PA.
In 1971, control of the dealership was handed over to Babe Charapp, the second generation owner, and the family opened another location in McKeesport. The family-owned business converted their inventory from Dodge to Ford in 1978 and Babe Charapp Ford is fully operated by the father/son duo of Babe and Ron Charapp.
In 1988 the Charapp dealerships expanded into the Allegheny Valley region with the opening of Charapp Freeport Ford and Dodge. This dealership operates in addition to Babe Charapp Ford until 1995 when Charapp Ford North opens in Natrona Heights. The 26,000-square-foot location proves to be the perfect locale for the historic dealership. Ron Charapp moves his Dodge inventory to the Natrona Heights location upon constructing yet another 26,000-square-foot facility. Natrona Heights is still currently the home of Charapp Ford North and Charapp Rt. 28 Chrysler, Jeep & Dodge after Charapp acquired the Jeep and Chrysler franchises in 2005.
