Baca Car Dealership in Mountainair
Baca Chevrolet was once located in Mountainair on the corner of Broadway and Highway 55 where Ruben Baca was in charge of a flourishing business selling cars from one end of the state to the other.
Baca purchased the business from Alfonzo Griffin in the fall of 1968. Alfonzo had acquired the business from his brother, Howard. Howard built a garage on West Main Street across from the present-day My Bank building. In 1917, he sold new Model T Fords for $390.00. Later, he would purchase the building where Ruben Baca was last located and had the first Chevrolet business in town. Ruben Baca had been in business in Belen with his father and brother, Leroy since 1955.
