July
1951		 Eric Redinger, Ready's founder formed Ready Motors Import Ltd. and began the operation by selling used cars at 1061 Bathurst Street, at Dupont in Toronto.
1952 The business relocated to Queen and Jarvis Streets to a larger lot.
1955 The business moved to indoor facilities at 423 College Street. at Bathurst. This property  has been owned and operated by Rochester Furniture since 1956.
1956 The business moved to 877 College Street at Ossington where two lots were combined into a single large lot. Currently it is operated by Azores Car Sales.
1957 Ready Motors became the sole importer and distributor in Canada for German built Lloyd cars. The first shipload of 186 cars arrived and eventually Ready had 100 independent franchises selling the cars.
1958 Ready relocated to 703-705 Bloor Street W. at Christie, offering a 4 car Showroom and 8 Bays for service. The business remained at this site until 1976.
1960 The manufacturer of Lloyd in Germany went bust! Ready, fortunately, did not go bust and took on Fiat cars from Milan, Italy as a franchise.
1973 Honda was taken on as a second line to Fiat under the name of Grand Prix Honda, a division of Ready. As of this date, Ready had the longest association with Fiat of any Canadian business. Ready (Grand Prix Honda) was the second dealer in Canada to take on a Honda Civic franchise.
1974 The oil crisis hit and gas prices skyrocketed. Honda sales soared, while Fiat did not! Fiat and Ready parted company due to corporate politics, after a 15 year association. The best year for Fiat sales reached 250 new cars.
1975 A second business location was opened at 2678 Bloor Street West at Jane, by the Old Mill Subway. Business was better at this site than at 703 Bloor Street.
