History
Maclin Motors Ltd., the first Ford dealer in Calgary, Alberta, was established in 1917 by Ernest A. McCullough, 1891-1965. It was originally located at 15th Avenue and 1st Street SE, but relocated to 11th Avenue and 1st Street SW in 1920. After forty years in this location it moved to new premises on Macleod Trail. The dealership sold Ford and Lincoln automobiles and Ford tractors. E.A. McCullough was also the major shareholder of Okotoks Motors Ltd., the Ford dealer in Okotoks. In 1958 E.A. McCullough stepped down as president, and his son, Daniel Paul McCullough, 1931-2006, took over.
