Mercedes-Benz of Buffalo Celebrates 50 Years

Anniversary

Mercedes-Benz of Buffalo celebrated its fiftieth anniversary serving Western New York.  This accomplishment is a testament to the excellent product we represent, our talented and dedicated staff, generations of loyal customers.

In 1965 Anthony LaMastra, founder of Great Lakes Motor Corp., a Dodge and Plymouth dealership, learned that Mercedes-Benz was attempting to establish a dealer network in the United States – Mercedes-Benz of North America.  Mr. LaMastra attended a meeting in New York City, joined the network, and was given a Mercedes to drive back to Buffalo.  His dealership became one of the original fifty Mercedes-Benz dealerships in the country.
