Ford Model A Dealerships

Ford of Canada had some kind of regulations about dealers beginning after the Mercury came out. They couldn't sell Fords with Mercury vehicles. This caused the Meteor and Monarch models to fulfill complete line ups for both types to include the Mercury line of pickups and trucks. This made Ford of Canada unique. I was always curious about the reasoning behind that.
 
Jacksonville FL had 4 Ford dealers in December '27 when the Model A was first shown.
Learned this from local newspaper archives.
In 1990 only one building remained and it was demolished in the 90s.

J.H. Head now Heaslip Ford at Hagersville Ontario is the second oldest continuously operating Ford dealer in Canada starting into business in 1910 selling model T's and then model A's
 
I'm not a native of Freeport, Ohio!!! I came here some 60 years ago. I was told by "A" owners in the area that there was "More new Fords sold at the Freeport Motors in 1929 than any other dealership in the state of Ohio". This was confirmed some years ago by a man who worked at the now defunct engine plant in Cleveland. The building was a small gas station facility. Many of the old trimmers of that era said "T"'s were stacked 5 high in the area out back.
