Ford shows up at the dealer, tells them they will buy them out now, or tells them they will cancel their franchise at the end of the year.

Since last August, Pasadena, El Monte, and San Gabriel all accepted Ford's offer and closed.

btw: Montebello is owned by Sunset Ford of Seal Beach.

btw, part II: Ford shuttered Board Ford in Whittier due to several factors, one being that the GM was a crook.

Howard Board owned the store for years, was a respected dealer, and was president of the LA Dealers Council.

When he died, the family sold the business to Ford, they installed a GM who was less than honest.

DMV shuttered the dealer at least twice for deceptive advertising.

Took my mom's 1996 Contour there in 2003, they wanted 700 DOLLARS parts & labor to replace two radiator hoses!

The hoses were 35 dollars dealer net price for the pair, 55 dollars list for the pair. The car had 20K on the clock.

I went elsewhere, had the job done for $125.00.
