The Ed Martin Automotive group was founded in 1955 by Ed Martin Sr. Ed began life as the first child born in the Indiana University Coleman hospital in Indianapolis, IN. His entrance into this world shows that his life was destined to be anything but typical.
Ed graduated from Manual High School as a football star and continued his football career at Butler University in Indianapolis. Ed's parents, Clarence and Nelly Martin were both attorneys; his mother was the first woman to pass the bar in Allen County, Indiana; his father was a Supreme Court Justice for the State of Indiana. In 1946, in Indianapolis, Ed, at the tender age of sixteen, purchased his first automobile with money he earned from delivering groceries and selling ice in his neighborhood. He sold his first car from his parent's front yard. His parents, being both professional and very proud people did not allow Ed to continue selling cars from their front yard. Ed approached the neighborhood "filling" station owner and negotiated a deal to sell his cars from the station. As sales grew, it became apparent he had to open his own used car lot, from which he continued selling and wholesaling used cars. In 1955, Ed Martin purchased his first new car dealership, an Oldsmobile dealership in Shelbyville, Indiana. In 1960 in Indianapolis, Ed Martin became the youngest Ford Automotive dealer in the entire United States. Over the following years, the Ed Martin Automotive Group has evolved into one of the top privately owned corporations in Indianapolis and top eighty corporations in Indiana.

Easy, no surprises, exceeded expectations, great people Highly recommend Ford AutoWorld and the individuals we worked with. My wife and I felt like we were more than just a number. Darlene Schwartz was an e Highly recommend Ford AutoWorld and the individuals we worked with. My wife and I felt like we were more than just a number. Darlene Schwartz was an excellent sales person. We did our homework and the ordering process was easy. Great (new) dealership facility. Ford delivered the vehicle a month ahead of schedule. Dustin worked hard and obtained financing at a much lower rate than available from other sources. Darlene did a great job of detailing vehicle operation and care, and introducing us to dealership personnel when we picked the vehicle up. More

Hard Working Dealership We just purchased our third Flex from Brian Lawton and Darlene Schwartz and could not be happier with the treatment we received from the folks at this We just purchased our third Flex from Brian Lawton and Darlene Schwartz and could not be happier with the treatment we received from the folks at this dealership. They went out of their way the get my wife and I into the car of our choice. I especially appreciate the followup they do AFTER the sale to ensure we are happy with our vehicle. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a new car come visit Autoworld and talk to the folks there before you buy anywhere else. This is truely a five star dealership. ***** More
