Nichols Motor Sales and Service is a tradition in the automobile industry that had it's roots in the beginning of the industry, and is still growing.

He took over his first sales dealership in 1928--on the edge of the depression, and in 1980 constructed a large, new gas station and paint shop. His firm was one of the few to come through the lean years practically unscath- ed.
