Benstock and Congressman Charles Rangel spent the day interacting with community leaders and proud residents.
Together with American Honda, Brian Benstock and Paragon Honda participated in the 22nd Annual
Upper Manhattan Auto Show, “Honoring the History of the Automobile.” Held on Sunday, August 21st, the
auto show is one of the most exciting events featured during Harlem Week, an annual initiative of the
Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce. The show was held on Sunday, August 21st, and featured a
parade through the heart of Harlem.
Benstock and others from the Paragon Honda team spent the day interacting with residents of Harlem
and public figures who all came together to celebrate the 22nd annual auto show. Benstock met with
Congressman Charles Rangel, later saying: “Congressman Rangel truly loves Harlem, and he represents
the interests of the community without question.”

2. Paragon Honda brought two all-new 2012 Honda Civics to display during the auto show. American
Honda’s and Paragon Honda’s participation in this event was an example of how American Honda
dealers and Japanese Honda manufacturers are working together to recover after the earthquake that
took place in Japan earlier this year, bringing vehicle production to a drastic halt. Last April, US Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton and Japanese Foreign Minister Takeaki Matsumoto announced that their two
governments have agreed to establish a public-private partnership for the reconstruction of Japan.
Benstock also met with Yasuhisa Kawamara, Deputy Consul General of Japan in New York.
“Paragon Honda’s participation in this highly celebrated event was key to continuing our commitment to
our community and customers,” said Benstock, who is Vice President and General Manager of Paragon
Honda. “It was a great day spent alongside a very enthusiastic community, and with those key players
who work so diligently to provide a safe, enjoyable environment for its residents.”
