58 years ago, in 1957, Donald Deichmann opened Trent Oldsmobile Cadillac Buick on Front Street In New Bern, NC. Don built a new facility at 1707 Highway 70 east and moved in in 1962. The new shop had ten service bays, three sales offices, and an outdoor new car showroom. Mike Deichmann joined Don in 1963 and worked his way through the service and sales departments until Don’s death in 1970. At that time he purchased the company stock and was approved by General Motors as the youngest Cadillac dealer in the country. Mike’s brother Pete joined him in 1971 and they have worked together ever since. The dealership has grown over the years more than doubling the size of the service department, had three major renovations, and now occupies over six acres. We are planning a complete renovation in the next few months.
