About

A Brief History of Key Cars Auto Group The Key Cars Auto Group has a rich history in Connecticut, starting in 1948 when Sam Merriam, Jeff's grandfather, came back from World War II. Grandpa Sam's parents were very poor, Russian immigrants, running a horse-and-buggy paper route to provide food and shelter for the family. Mr. Merriam returned from the war to a three-year-old, who was born while he was deployed. Sam took a job at a factory working nights, and according to Rose Merriam, Sam's wife, "he took that job so that he could poke around during the day and find better opportunities." Mr. Merriam's Entrepreneurial Spirit That poking around led to a job at a Sunoco gas station, which became increasingly successful thanks to Mr. Merriam himself. He realized people were stopping there on the way to the beach, he allowed them to change into their swimming trunks in the restroom. Mr. Merriam also realized people needed nicer, newer cars. So, he put a car on the front lawn, sold it and the rest was history.
