My Uncle Art lived in Aurora, IL. When I attended Marmion Military Academy in that city, I visited with him at his home often. He had a Pontiac dealership for many years. He and Hilda would vacation in FL during winter months, and became even closer friends there with my parents. He was an avid sports fan, especially pro golf.

Seems to me August's relatives all bought cars from Art Newquist. I know as a kid he had a dealership on north Michigan Avenue and when we went to Dyer we always passed it but the depression had caught up with him and it was vacant but the sign was still there with Newquist Ford. Dad would always point that out as we drove by. Howard Newquist (4/05)

Art had a close relationship with George Halas, who became the owner of the Chicago Bears NFL football team. He was asked to become a founding partner, but his business demands prevented his participation. (per Pete Newquist @@ 2002 reunion)
