SmartCar Parts LLC
____________________________________________
We were in the import/export autoparts business in NYC since 1961 as METRO GLOBAL. We supplied all types of auto parts around the world, but it was time to retire from Manhattan, especially after 9-11
During a visit to the Frankfurt autoshow in 2001, We fell in love with the SMART cars that were on display and occassionally on the streets.
We understood it was not designed to American standards, and SMART were too busy filling their production line for Eurosales.
Now, there are about 150 cars in the U.S., and 2,500 in Canada this year with 5,000 next year. The annual sales of about 130,000 in over 36 countries is a mark of SMART's success.
