FRANKLIN, Tenn. -

Capital Automotive Reconditioning Services (CARS) recently announced that two National Auto Auction Association Hall of Fame members have joined its board of directors.

Auction icons Tom Cunningham and Tony Moorby join the board with lifetimes of achievements in the auction industry.

“We are extremely proud to know that these two gentlemen have accepted board positions to CARS Recon Inc.,” said Ron Hope, president and chief executive officer of CARS. “Both individuals have long histories of moving the auction industry forward on a number of fronts. We are eager to join with them, as they provide direction for CARS Recon Inc. and we look forward to expanding into other areas of remarketing and the automobile industry as a whole.”

Cunningham retired in 2002 from the position of director of remarketing strategy at Ford Motor Company. Prior to joining Ford, Cunningham was an officer in the U.S. Air Force, where he served as an instructor pilot and flew many combat missions during the Vietnam War.

He also served on staff at the U.S. Air Force Academy and at the Pentagon. The CARS board position joins other activities for Cunningham, including the boards he sits on with several small non-profit organizations and foundations, including the Youth Crisis Center of Jacksonville.

Moorby, originally from England, came to the U.S. in 1982 and formed Anglo American Auto Auctions, with Mike Richardson and Nick Snow, a sister company to British Car Auctions.

Moorby served several leadership positions with the company, which eventually became ADT Automotive, including president and chief executive officer from 1997 to 2000. After the company’s sale, Moorby served as the executive vice president of ADESA Corp., responsible for corporate development. He developed his own series of businesses prior to semi-retirement in 2014. Moorby is currently a member of the board of trustees of the National Independent Automotive Dealers Association, a position he’s held since 2006.
