Vermilion Ford Pioneer Recalls Early Model T Era
J R Dall, longtime Lorain County Ford dealer, recalls bringing three Model T Fords into Vermilion in December 1912. He describes muddy deliveries by horse drag, slow early sales, the 1913 flood, and the growth to 240 Fords sold in 1917 across seven townships. Dall later moved to Norwalk and Elyria as the Ford agency expanded.
