Fly Them to Hollywood:  A trio of Lemon Grove Ford salesmen, Leon Floquet, E. E. Grable and Kenneth Dewey of Spears Ford, 7220 Broadway, were inducted into the Ford 300-500 Club in a ceremony held at the Moulin Rouge in Hollywood.

Jim Spears, owner of the dealership, hailed the pitchmen for their “energy and smart sales technique” and predicted they would make the trip to L.A. in 1960 as their sales records were “well ahead” of everyone else in the Southern California Ford market.
