History

Established in 1951.

Tex Earnhardt and his father, Hal Earnhardt Sr., moved to Arizona in 1951, and they opened a small gas station in downtown Chandler. Soon after, Tex was awarded a Ford franchise. He was only 21 and was the youngest Ford franchise owner in the U.S. at the time. Earnhardt Ford grew and in 1980s, the Tex acquired several more automobile franchises and he became widely known for his great deals and as the cowboy car dealer who rode a bull in his commercials. Tex' trademark slogan "that ain't no bull" was the ultimate truth in advertising. The "bull" he rode in the commercials was really a steer. Tex' sons, Hal and Jim Babe, eventually joined him in the business as did later, his grandsons, Dodge, Derby, and Bull. Together the Earnhardt family is at the helm of one of the southwest's largest automotive empires. Where family-owned and operated automotive companies are a rarity in this market, the Earnhardt family is at their dealerships daily and personally oversee its operations.
