In June of 1935 Lorne Brown chose
Clinton as the place to start a family
business, selling and servicing
automobiles.
Through two generations it has remained
an independent family run business, in
which we take pride in our continuing
good service to our friends and customers
in this community and in an increasingly
large area outside this region.
We like to think that our success is based
on our traditional good value in new and
used automobiles, our guaranteed parts
and service and our fine leasing operation.
Fair treatment and quality workmanship
are the basics. of day to day at Lorne
Brown Motors since way back when.
