Doan Ford Celebrating 50 Years

Doan Ford Lincoln Mercury of Morristown was recently recognized with a 50-year award for its continuous family ownership among Ford franchises in the region.

Doan was the only dealership to receive this award out of 200 Ford and Lincoln dealers in five states, stemming from Western New York, Northeast Ohio, West Virginia and beyond.

Originally established in Barnesville, Doan Ford first open its doors 50 years ago in 1961. The business moved to its current location in Morristown in 1967. At that time, owner Charles R. Doan purchased 25 acres of reclaimed farmland bordering Ohio 149 near Morristown and constructed Doan Ford's expanded headquarters. That facility reliably served customers in Belmont County and the surrounding areas for 35 years until it was destroyed by fire in July of 2002.

Reconstructed 15 months later, Doan Ford opened the doors of its new, modern facility on Oct. 20, 2003. The new facility was built in accordance with Ford Motor Company's new brand image.
