The Ed Martin Automotive group was founded in 1955 by Ed Martin Sr. Ed began life as the first child born in the Indiana University Coleman hospital in Indianapolis, IN. His entrance into this world shows that his life was destined to be anything but typical.
Ed graduated from Manual High School as a football star and continued his football career at Butler University in Indianapolis. Ed's parents, Clarence and Nelly Martin were both attorneys; his mother was the first woman to pass the bar in Allen County, Indiana; his father was a Supreme Court Justice for the State of Indiana. In 1946, in Indianapolis, Ed, at the tender age of sixteen, purchased his first automobile with money he earned from delivering groceries and selling ice in his neighborhood. He sold his first car from his parent's front yard. His parents, being both professional and very proud people did not allow Ed to continue selling cars from their front yard. Ed approached the neighborhood "filling" station owner and negotiated a deal to sell his cars from the station. As sales grew, it became apparent he had to open his own used car lot, from which he continued selling and wholesaling used cars. In 1955, Ed Martin purchased his first new car dealership, an Oldsmobile dealership in Shelbyville, Indiana. In 1960 in Indianapolis, Ed Martin became the youngest Ford Automotive dealer in the entire United States. Over the following years, the Ed Martin Automotive Group has evolved into one of the top privately owned corporations in Indianapolis and top eighty corporations in Indiana.

Keith greeted us promptly and made us feel very welcomed, as soon as we walked in. He was very informative, as we had many questions about the new 2026 Explorer that we were interested in. We drove 3 differ as soon as we walked in. He was very informative, as we had many questions about the new 2026 Explorer that we were interested in. We drove 3 different models, and Keith was happy to prepare the cars for us to drive. After test driving the cars, we decided to purchase an Explorer from Keith. He went over all the numbers with us, and gave us an extremely fair price for our trade in. When we went back to pick up our car, Keith went over with us every detail about our new car and how to operate EVERYTHING! From start to finish Keith was great. He was not pushy, but informative. We would highly recommend Keith to anyone looking to purchase a car from Ed Matin. Note: this was our best experience buying a new car ever! More
