Bob, I recall Mahan's but what was the other Ford place?

I'll e-mail this link to Mr. Norris, who is residing in Florida full time now. Kerry and his son have taken over the family business.
Danny, I too, have heard that Sonny has had medical issues, maybe from Sandy Lowe, but don't quote me on that. The other Ford dealer, was Harrison Motors, across the street from Justin King's Taxi co, and his beautiful Midgets. Do you remember Leppert Auto Parts, and the Bus co, also located in that area. Harrison Motors, was "dozed". to build Irwin Union Bank. Those "old" days, were full of race cars, and drivers from the Columbus area, not full of loud stereos and "baggie" pants, as it is today. Bob
