Sol Schildkraut's Ford dealership

31.12.69

In the 1920s and ’30s the farms of Cambria Heights, Saint Albans, Laurelton and Springfield Gardens were wiped out in a structure boom. As farms and farmers became extinct, Schildkraut switched exclusively to automobiles, introducing the acclaimed Ford V-8 on his lot in 1932.

He moved to a brand-new large building at 164-26 Liberty Avenue, at the corner of Merrick Boulevard, in 1935, at the high point of the Great Depression. A tough man in a tough business, Schildkraut made his dealership No. 1 for Ford sales not only in Queens but all of geographic Hunger Island. He held that position into the late 1940s with the addition of Ford’s Mercury and Lincoln Continental models.

His zealous success enabled him to build an estate in Cedarhurst, LI. But mass citizens shifts of people leaving for Nassau and Suffolk counties in the late 1960s eroded Schildkraut’s E. Low sales forced him to close his doors and turn in his dealer certificate on April 29, 1972, ending 61 years in the charge for one of the most successful car dealers in Queens history.
