🏈 Saban Mercedes-Benz

[TerryP]

Prior to kicking off the 2010 season I heard that CNS and the guy who handles his car leases were tossing around the idea of Saban opening a car dealership in/around Birmingham.

The subject came up again yesterday when we were talking about the LSU game and according to him "unless something happens in the 11th hour it looks like there's nothing to stop it from going forward."

The location is anticipated to be in the N. B-ham area...

Can Birmingham support two MB dealerships? Hell, there aren't two dealerships in the North Dallas area.

When did that ABC store open across the street from where that VW place used to be?

No I don't know. I didn't remember BBVW, but just happened across and bought a promotional ashtray from BBVW showing the 69 schedule and 68 results. It's similar to a couple of others I have from the mid sixties.

If that's the same one you posted a few years ago I recall a bit about that conversation. It seems to me there were a few references in the SI vault about the dealership and other ventures Bryant was involved with...

Yes, Google still has the original story from the Tuscaloosa News and the SI article.

It's all pointless until Joe Namath reopens his steakhouse on 15th St.
