A letter from the President, Paul Stanford

Leslie J. Stanford founded Les Stanford Chevrolet on his birthday, August 5, 1968. It was his lifetime dream to own and operate a Chevrolet franchise. By providing family-style service, quality products and the highest level of integrity in all transactions, the dealership realized unprecedented growth.

Despite our location in the "hometown of Henry Ford," in Dearborn, Michigan, our award-winning dealership is a consistent leader in both sales and customer satisfaction, having been a repeat winner of General Motor's Jack Smith Leadership Award, recognizing only the best of the best GM dealers nationally. Less than 7% of more than 7,000 dealers earn this prestigious award.

In the mid-80's, after 50 years in the automotive industry, Les decided to turn the business over to his two sons, Gary and myself. Both of us learned valuable lessons under our father's tutelage - hard work, perseverance and our "golden rule," that a man's word is his bond. With those lessons learned and a dedication to the family business, my brother and I have taken the dealership to the next level. As the business and number of employees expanded, so did sales and the ominous distinction as "America's Corvette King."

Thanks to the many loyal employees and valued customers who have come back to us year after year, many since our founding in 1968, the dealership has been rewarded with many successes. Each success is a living testament that treating employees and customers with dignity and respect, and no-pressure sales tactics for our customers, have allowed Les Stanford Chevrolet to remain a leader in its field.

By providing a warm, comfortable atmosphere in a no-pressure sales setting, Les Stanford Chevrolet customers return again and again for all their transportation needs, often with their friends, family and business associates. Our staff of award-winning, highly-trained sales consultants treats everyone like family. As we get to know you we will gladly assist you in deciding which vehicle best suits your needs and treat you kindly and fairly.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you,

Paul Stanford
