Another Century-Old Ford Dealership

Tenevoorde Ford; one of the oldest operating Ford dealerships in the entire country; has been in business since 1901 and has sold Ford Medium & Heavy-Duty trucks and has serviced the Ford B-Series chassis & cowl prior to Ford having sold off this business division to Daimler/Freightliner to become Sterling in 1996.

There’s another Ford dealer that’s been operating continuously in Natchitoches, Louisiana since 1905-simply titled Natchitoches Ford-Lincoln.

As the name implies, the dealership also sells Lincolns; and when the Mercury brand was still in existance, this dealership also carried Mercuries under one roof at the same location as well.

I’m not sure if this dealership, at any point in time; has sold Ford Medium & Heavy-Duty trucks and serviced the Ford B-Series chassis & cowl.

As the dealership had expanded over the years, with the dealership’s original building still in place; the dealership has also taken over adjoining buildings-such as a food store, and converted these adjoining buildings into one larger dealership.

Inside the showroom, there is a Ford Model T that was purchased new at this dealership in it’s day, and many, many years later; had been reacquired by this dealership to be put on display inside their showroom.
