Christmas 1945.
In case you blinked at that headline, it is a rather popular
topic. It is actually the title of a
book written by Don Bracken. It was
America’s first Christmas after the horrors of WWII. With the troops coming home, America “lit
up”. President Harry Truman set a
precedent by declaring a four-day weekend for government workers.
Loved ones who had not been seen for as much as four years
were home or on the way. The Army and Navy initiated "Operation Magic
Carpet," sending tens of thousands of soldiers, sailors and Marines to
separation points in Europe and the Pacific, then launched "Operation
Santa Claus" to get Americans home by plane, train, ship or anything else
that moved.
It was at this time that our late patriarch Joe Bellocchio
Sr. returned from the South Pacific having served in the Army. See his strikingly handsome post-war photo on
our website under the history tab at www.arrowbodyandfender.com. It has been well over 70 years, but Arrow
Body and Fender continues to serve Chicagoland from our shop located at 7536 W.
Grand Ave. in Elmwood Park. Merry
Christmas from our family to yours.

Freedom to Choose.
Those words pop up a lot these days. Usually, the topic is not auto body collision
repair, but it applies there too! After
an accident you file a claim with your insurance company. Often, insurance companies and body shops
disagree over repairs. Your insurance
company has their own preferred body shops that they will insist that you go
to.
Remember this…it is NOT in the insurance company’s best
interest to put an unsafe car back on the road leading to another claim. Commonly the two will disagree about the
quality of the parts that are being used, the cost of those parts, how long the
repairs should take, as well as the rate that labor is being charged.
If you have become comfortable with Arrow Body and Fender as
your father and your father’s father did then you should stick with a friend to
get your vehicle back on the road better than ever. Insist on Elmwood Park auto body shop Arrow
Body and Fender EVERY time. Just call ahead
at (708) 456-9424.
