    A Message from Eve:

    People always ask me, "Who's Matt?" I'm so proud to explain that he was my dad, "The Prince of Wheels"; at least that was his business persona as a Chevrolet Dealer in Northeast Philadelphia. At a time in the automobile industry when it was difficult to find a woman in any position other than the accounting office, he welcomed me into the family business in a totally gender neutral way. In 1980, when the opportunity to acquire a Subaru franchise crossed his desk, he pushed me forward as the Dealer Candidate. I opened Matt Slap Subaru in 1981 and often think about all of the talented people who contributed to our success. I'm grateful to them all, but especially to my dad who realized, way ahead of his time, that daughters could succeed in the automobile business as well as sons.
