The History of Dean Sellers Ford - Serving Troy & Royal Oak Since 1948
On January 14, 1948 Dean Sellers, Inc. was founded by Dean L. Sellers (1906-1996). Dean was born in Ohio and, as a young adult, came to Detroit in search of the automobile industry where he started his career with Chevrolet. He moved to the Ford Motor Company with Henry Ford and the era of the Whiz Kids and headed up the Ford Ferguson Tractor Division. What he really wanted was a Ford Dealership, so in 1948, he opened Dean Sellers, Inc. at 16700 Grand River in Detroit. In the early '70s Dean retired and turned the business over to his eldest son, Tom. As the Detroit climate changed, Tom spent the latter of the 1970s in search of a new location for Dean Sellers Ford. In June of 1980, Tom struck a deal with Ford Dealer, Richard Turner, and took over the point at 2600 W. Maple Road in the Troy Motor Mall, its current location for over 40 years. Tom's three children are in the business all working at the Troy location: Blair, Dean and Liz, who now collectively have over 85 years of experience in the automobile retailing business.
