McCoy opened McCoy & Mills Ford Tire & Tractor on the corner of Harbor and Commonwealth. After a decade of growth, E.R. McCoy expanded to a location in Anaheim: McCoy Ford Car and Tractor. Then in 1950 a fire destroyed the Fullerton location, and McCoy & Mills Ford re-opened at it’s present location on 700 W. Commonwealth.

In 1980, Jim Miller became General Manager of McCoy Mills Ford and his sister Jana Bogart followed suit a few years later.

McCoy would be proud of how far the dealership has come and how committed to Fullerton and the local communities we remain. read more
