History of The Mile

Current Development

Through a pooling of resources the Mile of Cars Association has today become one of the largest and most successful automotive associations in the country. This mile long stretch of National City Boulevard is comprised of 21 new car franchises and continues to grow.

Fiscal year 2005 marked the highest sales recorded in the history of the Mile of Cars, continuing a nine-year trend of increased sales beginning in 1997. The Mile of Cars sales increased at a substantially higher rate than industry sales during what was a difficult year for the auto industry overall. While actual sales figures are proprietary, taxable sales increased 5.87% over 2004. Year-end taxable sales amounted to close to $600 million.
