Robert M. Hollenshead, Founder, the Company’s Heart

 Robert started his wholesale operation in　1972 in Philadelphia, Pa.　 He is the largest independent wholesale car dealer in history, with annual revenues approaching $300,000,000.00.　　He has profound knowledge of　the psychology of both sides of the business, wholesale and retail.　 Having spent the past decades buying (off the street), selling by hand and obviously in the auction lane,　reconditioning, transporting, importing, exporting to five continents(before it was cool), and thinking.　 The thinking has led to many　inovations for the industry.　 A few of which are the first Dealer Trade lanes before they were dealer trade lanes, the first Exotic Sales in the country,　Wreck Check before CarFax, Bid the Load, Buyfigure, which was the blue print　used, as documented, in　the Veritec patent, and BuyBook Technologies.　The latter will fundamentally change the way we value, trade and liquidate automobiles. The theory used in the BuyBook process was developed a decade before any of the internet initiatives that are in use today.   It all started while Robert was in the process of buying an auction from his mentor and theoretical partner, Al Balis.  Al has since passed on to a different world and met our creator.  There is no doubt that he is buying and selling something in the ever after.  We don'r believe that they  drive there, so it's not cars, but for sure it is something.  Robert is the designer and custodian of Soledad Gardens www.soledadmansion.org.  Formal gardening,  painting in the soial realist form,  sculpture, and pre-colonial cultures of South America are his passions. He uses  the shovel,  brush, and canvas  to reveal his soul to anyone inclined to have a look. 

Robert　is a Marine Corps vet, and a graduate of Penn State University with a degree in Marxist/ Leninist economics.

 Since 1994, solid as a rock, Florence "Flo" Kline has been like a family member at Hollenshead Auto.　 Prior to coming with us she worked for a decade at Manheim Auto Auction before it was corporate as the registration person.　 When you call for a number in the old building, you were talking to Flo.　 　As office manager at Hollenshead, Flo is responsible for overseeing her office staff of eight girls and does a great job of managing the personalities. She also acts as liaison to the auction. If you've seen Bob on the block with his "scroll" of inventory, you've seen just one of many of Flo's talents. From payroll to sale-day preparation, you can be sure that Flo has something to do with it.

On any given day, Hector is responsible for thirty drivers,　car carriers,　rollback trucks,　and 700 vehicles. On sale day, you'll find Hector on the auction block next to Robert,　making sure that all　cars are　accounted for, and looking the best they will look for the rest of their existence.　 Hector’s wife, Rosanna, is also employed at Hollenshead.
