Henry Ford thought Fargo was a prime territory to sell Model As and Model Ts, and Chevy, Oldsmobile, Buick, Plymouth and Dodge dealers built or worked out of distinctive buildings still in use.

The article from InForum discusses the historical significance of the auto industry in Fargo's downtown, focusing on the remnants of auto dealerships and service stations that once thrived there. It highlights the E.D. Lumry Oldsmobile dealership, which operated from 1927 to 1965 and is now the site of the Black Building, and the former site of the Fargo Motor Company, established in 1915, which later became a Ford dealership and is now occupied by the Radisson Hotel. The narrative also touches on other locations like the former Nash and Willys-Overland dealership, now a parking lot, and the site of the Fargo Auto Body Shop, which has been replaced by a modern building. The article reflects on how these sites, though repurposed, still echo the vibrant auto history of the Red River Valley, illustrating the evolution of Fargo's urban landscape.
