St Croix Motors
Charles St Croix started in the automobile
business as a car salesman in 1934. He
started St Croix Motors in 1948 to distribute and sell Kaiser automobiles. The
Kaiser franchise was soon dropped in favor of Hudson and Rambler in 1952. In
1957 St Croix Motors opened in a new location on Highway 83 South, part of the
Magic Mile….. now the Dakota Boys & Girls Second Hand Store. When they opened in this location the decision was
made to devote full time to used vehicles. In the early sixties St Croix also
advertised “truck hoists installed while you wait”. Later St Croix motors would
handle some lines of motor homes and motorcycles
