A Ford Medium & Heavy-Duty truck dealer located in Lansing, Michigan that had transitioned to selling Sterling by Freightliner once Ford had sold that division to Daimler/Freightliner to become Sterling in 1996 alongside coeval Ford Light-Duty trucks, was, at one time; co-owned with the Curtis Ford passenger car dealership that was located in Lansing, Michigan, and was later sold at some point in time; where this dealership became known as ‘Central Ford Truck’ from that point forward.

Ironically, there is a Ford L-Series with a dump body owned and operated by the Michigan Department Of Transportation (MDOT) painted in Safety Orange driving right in front of this very dealership at the time these photos were taken. The Michigan Department Of Transportation, being based in Lansing, Michigan; could have very well likely taken delivery of this L-Series chassis & cab at this very dealership.
