                The Smith Cairins Ford dealership was on Paxton Ave. in Bronxville right there where the Bronx River Perkway is when I was a kid. I remember seeing the brand new ’56 cars there.

                        Can you imagine if the government buys out GM and MoPar but not FoMoCo…

                        A lot of American buyers ( like myself…) who don’t like the idea of gov. socialists taking over free enterprises will switch over to Ford products in the future and that could have BIG consequences… Discussion anybody…???

                                        Mr. Fisher passed on just before time started to go sour,

                                                        Forgot the name of the dealership when in peekskill.
                                                        next to the old Mt. Kisco Ford building going North buuuurrr Cold up there 😆
