Pat, the gentlemen on the left is John Clegg, on the right, Ted Clegg. Clegg Motor Company was in business from the early 1950's to 1967. They sold Lincoln-Mercury products, but was also Port Arthur's only Edsel dealership. The Clegg's sold out in 1967 to a person whose last name was Artlidge and the firm's name was changed to Port Lincoln-Mercury. The building that Clegg and Port occupied still stands. In 1970, Aubrey Raiford, a long time Port Arthur car dealer, became the Lincoln-Mercury dealer. Raiford Motors (now Energy Country Ford owned by his daughter Patti), 4545 Twin City Highway, also was a Ford dealer. In 1974 my 22 years working in auto dealerships began at Raiford Motors.
Regarding the Craig car, it was black. The year would have to have been around 1957. I know I was a little kid and my dad had to lift me up to see in the car. As for the interior, for some reason I thought it was a two toned brown, but I see 1404 was a two tone grey. It suppose it could have been two tone grey. Years do things to memory. Whenever my dad and I would go to the bank, I would always look for the car. Most of the time it was not there.
