My family started selling vehicles in 1927. Back then it was Model T's and dirt roads throughout nearly all of Southwest Florida. We were known as Lee Motors and my grandparents owned the store. They often told stories of Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and Harvey Firestone dropping-by the dealership. While vacationing at his home on the Caloosahatchee River, Mr. Ford would visit with the people that sold and serviced the vehicles he created and even ask advice on how he could make their jobs easier as design changes took place on future models.
Then, in the mid 1940's and 50's my father, Sam Galloway Sr. assumed operating control and ownership of the store. Under mounting pressure from Ford Motor Company, the store was re-named and relocated. The Southwest corner of U.S. 41 and Colonial Boulevard became home to the new Sam Galloway Ford. "Senior", as my dad was know, remained the owner of the store until 1970. That was the year that I became the youngest Ford dealer in the United States and the Colonial location remained our home until 1996.
After being in our Colonial location for over 40 years, we moved to our current location on Boy Scout Drive. While operating on Boy Scout Drive, we were given the opportunity to acquire the Lincoln franchise...and we did!
Now, with my three children Sam III, Katherine and Robert, the fourth generation is involved with the management of our organization. Many things have changed during the last eight decades but not our family focus on our customers or our community. We support several different charitable organizations throughout Southwest Florida. Among them are the American Cancer Society, the preservation of the Edison-Ford Winter Estates and the Community Cooperative Ministries (The Soup Kitchen), to name just a few.

Thanks and enjoy!

Came in with a pre approval and they didn’t want to use it. Claimed they could get us better rates. Ran the credit through the mud and still refused to let us use our pre approval through our bank. Would n it. Claimed they could get us better rates. Ran the credit through the mud and still refused to let us use our pre approval through our bank. Would no recommend at all. After telling them we would go somewhere else the rudeness of this dealership came out. More

so unlike many of the dealers in Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach County, with bad attitudes then trying to charge five to $10,000 over MSRP with a phrase on the window " Dealer Adjusted Market Price" Sam Gal Beach County, with bad attitudes then trying to charge five to $10,000 over MSRP with a phrase on the window " Dealer Adjusted Market Price" Sam Galloway Ford honored the "MSRP Price" of my new Bronco Took Pride in the preparation of delivering me, my Bronco in sparkling shinny shape. What a nice experience dealing with this dealership the Robins Egg Blue Heritage was Worth the short Three (3) hour drive to pick it up. My salesman John Kmitt was amazing. he graciously and continually kept me advised sometimes on a daily basis the status of where my bronco was, and when they expected it to arrive at their dealership jhon went way over the top as far as making me enjoy the sales experience and buying from Sam Galloway Ford, he should get some type of Ward. Financing was taken care of by Justin and it was a smooth transaction. They did exactly what they promised. I highly recommend people from other areas Contact John and fly or drive-in to Fort Myers Florida and pick up your vehicle. Best, Robert Klecinsky. More

Communication was terrible, the appointment was just to park my truck in the lot because it was not looked at for four day, and I wasn’t given a rental car for 7 days. I will never be back. More
