The National Automobile Dealers Association renamed its McLean, VA headquarters the Frank E. McCarthy Building, honoring the association's 33-year president who died in February.

“Frank accomplished more for the franchised automobile dealer than anyone in history and no one is more deserving of this honor,” says NADA Chairman Robert Maguire. “Beyond that, he was also a wonderful human being and a great family man.”
