Friday, Aug. 16, will mark the end of a long era in Harvey Cedars, as that will be the final curtain call for Harvey Cedars Auto.

“Opened 75 years ago, we are the oldest single-family owned business in Harvey Cedars and one of the oldest repair shops in Ocean County,” said owner Keith Baum, whose late father, Howard Baum, opened the business in 1949. He passed away two years ago at the age of 93.
