Wheeler Automotive
|
Wheeler Automotive was established in 1921 by William Leslie Wheeler as a Ford dealership located originally in Hampstead, Maryland.
In 1928, Wheeler Automotive became an Overland Willys Whippet dealership. Henry Ford sends 8 Ford tractors to William Wheeler, who said "we're not in the tractor business," and returned them back to Ford.
In 1933, Willys completely downsized their cars and made one small car. The small car was thought to be ugly and not an acceptable product at that time at the Wheeler dealership, and so the compact cars were sent back.
From 1934-1935, Wheeler Automotive sold International Trucks. In 1935 Chevrolet with a full line of trucks replaced International.
