rick60 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) Does anyone have any information/photos of Brand Ford? They were a dealership located in Los Angeles California. I'm interested in the late '50s early'60s era. Google has not been much help. Thanks.

BrandMotors Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) Just came across your post. My grandfather, John Beber, owned the dealership. I remember it being on Crenshaw Boulevard at 26th. He died in 1963 and the dealership closed shortly after the 1965 Watts riots. Most of the senior execs ended up at Ralph Williams Ford in the San Fernando Valley.

BrandMotors Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I’ve been looking for memorabilia from the dealership. If you’re interested in selling for a modest amount, let me know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick60 Posted April 20, 2023 Author Share Posted April 20, 2023 BrandMotors provided me with a few vintage photos of the dealership and gave me permission to post them here. That is Chico Marx and John Beber (BrandMotors grandfather) in the photo from 1952. They were friends and played cards at the Friars Club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandMotors Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Full name of the dealership was Brand Motors Ford City. It was the largest Ford dealership in western United States until the mid-1960s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
