In 1941, during World War II, Alfred Schnog, his wife Erika Schnog and their son Hans Schnog came to Curaçao. Alfred had to provide for his family and went looking for work. The events that followed would lead to the birth of Curaçao’s number one car dealership. Alfred’s first job was at a construction company. It wasn’t quite what he wanted, so he switched to washing cars and doing small repairs.
Thanks to his hard work and excellent service, he quickly managed to build up a customer base. It kept growing and growing until he saw the opportunity to establish an auto service/repair shop at Granaatappelweg (Kaya Kooyman) in July 1945. He named it Garage Cordia. Schnog noticed a demand for small cars, because only large American cars were being imported at the time. In 1946, his first imported brand became Morris with its Minor and Oxford models. Other brands quickly followed: Standard Vanguard, Triumph, Rover, BMW in 1948, Borgward in 1953, Peugeot in 1960 and the first Japanese brand “Prince” in 1964. Because his company kept growing, Alfred decided to build a more spacious building in the Saliña area. He moved his business there in 1952. MISSION & VISION
