Rush Family Retires After Fifty-four Years

Back in the 1940s when he got out of the service, Jim Rush opened a grocery store and then in 1955, his first car lot in Urbana, MO. In 1970, he opened his second dealership in Osceola, where his son Ronnie remembers his first job—washing cars—and the first car he sold—a 1971 Chevy Impala. In 1990, the family business bought a dealership in Bolivar, where they have stayed since.
