Triple M Financing Company, an affiliate of the Mel Fam Automotive Group, finances
[001a]
vehicles for urban consumers, mostly in larger cities in the States of Michigan and Ohio.
Since it started business in 1987, more than 15,000 consumers who might not otherwise
have been able to afford an automobile because of low income, credit blemishes, or lack
of credit history have been financed by Triple M.
Until now, Triple M could fund these consumers only with its own capital or from money
borrowed from its affiliated dealers and Ford Motor Credit Company. These limited
sources of funding restricted Triple M's ability to originate more automobile loans and
leases.
This month, Triple M will increase its capacity to finance these consumers by accessing
the capital markets through a securitization: The purchasers of the securities being
offered by Triple M include Bank of America, TIAA-CREF, Goldman, Sachs, Bank One
& Company and Ford Motor Credit Company. Most institutional investors have
fiduciary responsibilities limiting their investments to securities rated in the highest
categories by one or more of the national rating agencies. Pooling its loans and leases has
enabled Triple M to achieve the investment grade rating these trillion-dollar investors
require. The investors will be repaid from the payments made each month by Triple M's
urban consumers. Excess cashflow from the payments, together with its existing credit
lines, will enable Triple M to finance even more of urban customers through expansion
into additional urban markets. The securitization will be repeatable, virtually freeing
Triple M from funding concerns. Triple M in effect acts as a conduit through which
major banks and insurance companies, with only limited risk, can invest in urban
communities that may be otherwise unattractive even to smaller banks and finance
companies.

OM: MEL FARR AUTOMOTIVE GROUP/ ADVERTISING & P.R. OFFICE
Mel Parr, Sr. was born in the segregated town of Beaumont, Texas on
November 4, 1944. The son of a truck driver and a domestic worker, Farr,
the youngest of two sons excelled in high school football and went on to
earn $ full scholarship at UCLA. He helped lead the Bruins to their first
Rose Bowl victory.
After setting numerous records on the UCLA gridiron, Mel Farr was the #1
draft pick of the Detroit Lions in his junior year. Farr headed for Detroit in
1967, made All Pro and was NFL "Rookie of the Year." And, during his
spare time he managed to become friends with Motown singing sensation
and recording artist Marvin Gaye, even singing background vocals on the
hit "What's Goin' On" and receiving a gold record for his efforts.
For seven years during the off seasons, Farr worked for Ford Motor
Company in order to learn both the retail and wholesale sides of the
automotive business.
When Farr retired in 1974 due to extensive injuries, he assisted Ford Motor
Company in the development of its minority dealer training program, and
also bought into his first Ford dealership in Oak Park, Michigan. The
dealership was struggling financially and had been bankrupt twice. Turning
the Oak Park dealership around was a difficult challenge, and Farr almost
went out of business. In 1978, Farr bought out his partner and began a
television advertising campaign featuring him flying across the sky
wearing a red cape, catching the attention of customers from all over
Metro Detroit. That was the beginning of Mel Farr the Superstar Dealer as
a household name, jump-starting his automotive career and the Mel Farr
Automotive Group enterprise.
