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.

Very satisfying purchase of a new SUV. Been using this dealership for nearly a year. Have had all three of my Fords serviced here. And just recently traded my 2013 Edge for a 2020 Edge.

You can’t go wrong buying a car/truck and they have a huge selection but if they don’t have what you’re looking for they will find it as they did for us. This is a no pressure Sales Team and Financing options are great too! They also have a super service center! They sell Ford and GM products! We have purchased 3 F150’s at this dealership and they work hard to earn your business and follow up after the sale too! Can’t say enough about Autoworld in Anderson, IN. More

Great expedrience with Jacob and Charles!! Came in just to look and check out inventory. Had no plan to buy! Due to a recent Horrible experience at Andy Mohr Ford in Plainfield, ( insulting, di Came in just to look and check out inventory. Had no plan to buy! Due to a recent Horrible experience at Andy Mohr Ford in Plainfield, ( insulting, disrespectful and 50 attempts to "write this up"-was not expecting a very good experience. Jacob was very respectful, laid back and willing to listen and help. Again, did not plan to buy. But, the work put in by Jacob and Charles made this an easy and practical decision. I will recommend these folks to anyone looking for a great experience when purchasing a new or used vehicle. The experience I had in Plainfield was more than made up for with the deal and treatment I received at Ford Autoworld in Anderson!! Thanks Guys!! More

In the past, as a female, I have been treated differently than my husband when looking for, and purchasing a vehicle. I honestly would feel more comfortable with Wendy than with the most seasoned salesperson on staff. She’s smart, warm, and personable- I would trust her to help me find the right car to fit my needs.
