History
Holiday Automotive got its start back in 1959 when local car scene entrepreneurs Chuck Henkel and Bill Gores acquired Huber Oldsmobile and changed the name to Holiday Olds. In the 70's, Holiday's current president, Mike Shannon, joined the company in sales. The company operated out of a modest brick building on Main Street in Fond du Lac for a number of years before moving out to Rolling Meadows Drive near Highway 41 in 1978. To make the move possible, Mike Shannon, Jim Baldauf and Jim Flood all agreed to purchase a stake in the business to keep it moving forward. In the years since, the company has grown and Baldauf and Flood moved on to start their own successful enterprises. Along the way, franchises were bought and sold. Today, Holiday Automotive operates three locations: Holiday GM, Holiday Mazda, Holiday Ford and Holiday Budget Center. Together, all four locations make Holiday Automotive one of the Midwest's largest new and used vehicle retailers.
