FJ - Anyone Know Of Mulder Motor Sales In Coopersville, Michigan ?

Post by FreighTer Jim » Mon Sep 28, 2020 1:19 pm

I am asking for Mr. Mulder ( his grandson ) of Hamilton, Michigan.

Luther Mulder was the proprietor.

He can’t find anything on the internet.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

The context should include "when" the business existed.
1917 Touring
1946 Aeronca Champ
1952 Willys M38a1 Jeep (sold 2023)
1953 Ford Jubilee Tractor

I found where there was an advertisement for Mulder Motor Sales Inc. in the Coopersville High School year book from 1944.

Luther Mulder was born in May 1889 and died in Coopersville, MI on August 21st, 1954

There was also a Luther Mulder born in July 1917, and died in Coopersville, MI on September 2, 1997

So you know Mulder Motor Sales existed at least during WW2.

So I was at The Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum
and an older gentleman was touring with his wife
and son - came to the office and asked if they had
Ford Dealer Records for Michigan.

I asked him what year(s) he was looking for
and he wasn’t quite sure - all he knew was
that a relative had owned it.

So I told him I would post a thread.

Thanks 😊

I’m sure he received more information in
these posts than he could have hoped for.

You can tell it was a small town, when his phone number was "2". I wonder if the Mayor's phone number was "1"
