After 74 years of Paul Murrey Ford heritage, the time has come for Britt and I to pass the torch.
It’s official: I am retiring and am no longer the owner of Paul Murrey Ford. I have spent 40 years in the automobile business—really closer to 50 when you count the years I began working for my dad in the shop. It has been an incredible journey, and I am deeply grateful for every customer, employee, friend, and family member who has been part of it.
Owning and leading this dealership has been an honor and a privilege, my life. We have built lasting relationships, served generations of local families, and worked hard to earn the trust of this community. That legacy is something I will always be proud of.
I am excited to hand the keys to Cole, the new owner. I truly believe you are going to love him. He understands what this dealership stands for: honesty, integrity, taking care of people, and treating customers the right way. I have every confidence that he will continue that tradition while leading Paul Murrey Ford, now Diamond Ford into a strong new chapter.
While it is never easy to step away from something that has meant so much, I know this is the right time. I look forward to retirement, spending more time with family and friends, and enjoying the road ahead.
Thank you for your loyalty, your friendship, and your support over all these years. It has meant more to me than I can say.
