H AUTO PAC PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE IN MADA’S SUCCESS Interview With Roger Bacon, Auto PAC Chairman How long have you been in the car business? In 1973, I took a job at a dealership; it was just going to be for the summer, and then I was going to go to school and become a lawyer. I realized quickly that I really liked the car business and decided to stay. I learned the business from the ground up and have held almost every position — porter, mechanics helper, mechanic, shop foreman, etc. I’ve done every job in the auto business except for bodywork. How long have you been a dealer? I bought my first dealership in 2004, along with partners who have all been bought out. What dealerships do you have in Picayune? I currently have Mossy of Picayune, a GM dealership, and Nissan of Picayune, which is next door, about 100 yards away. In total, the two dealerships cover 10 acres, right off the interstate between Slidell, LA, and Hattiesburg, MS. 12
