Holdingford & Bobby Fischer

Bobby Fischer (recently diseased chess champion) purchased his first automobile from the Kroska Motors dealership in Holdingford.
After winning his world championship match with Boris Spassky in 1972 he took driving lessons from Ed Kroska’s son, who owned a car rental company in California. Ed’s son ordered all of his vehicles through the Kroska Motors dealership (making Ed the nation’s top salesman one year), including Bobby Fischer’s first car.
