ONLINE INFO FOUND: "BMC originally stood for Botnick Motor Corporation, which was the prominent Binghamton Chevrolet dealership founded by Saul Botnick in 1922. This dealership, still operating today, has been in its current Front Street location since 1930. "Mr. Botnick started a tooling shop, located here in the basement of the dealership facility, in October 1944," explains Todd Wilson, Botnick Chevrolet's parts manager and an avid local historian. "The tooling shop specialized in making 'Precision Locking Pliers,' which were like Vise-Grips; they were advertised in magazines like Popular Mechanics."
