Long-Lewis Ford
An auto or car dealership is a business that sells new cars or used cars at the retail level. It employs automobile sales staff, service workshops where services for cars are carried out. They employ automobile mechanics, stock and sell spare automobile parts, and process warranty claims also.
Long-Lewis Ford is one of the dealership members. It is located in Hoover, Alabama. It is a Blue Oval Certified. In the spring of 1911, Bessemer was a brawling young industrial city. Since 1887 Long-Lewis has been in the transportation business. Before 1911, Long-Lewis sold Studebaker buggies. James Clanton is the sales and leasing manager of the dealership. For several months customers received raffle tickets with each purchase. Tradition has it that on March 15, 1911 the drawing was held at the intersection of Second Avenue and Nineteenth Streets. He purchased the car, a Model T Ford, from the winner and drove it down Second Avenue to the wagon and buggy shed at Long-Lewis Hardware Company. Dwight Burrell is the president for this dealership and Terry Poole is the general sales manager.
In 1915 Henry Ford began granting franchises to dealers, and one of the first franchises he granted was to Long-Lewis Hardware Company. Both the hardware and the automobile business were good, for in 1918 the company was able to declare a 100 per cent dividend. In 1921 a two story addition was added to the hardware building to house the Ford Division of Long-Lewis Hardware. And then in 1965 The Ford Store moved to Bessemer Super Highway. In January of 1999, Long-Lewis built its new 84,000 square foot facility at 2551 Highway 150 in Hoover.
