In 1948 the company separated the autos from the tractors, thus beginning Stovall Tractors. In 1960 with the retirement of Mr. Stovall, ownership of the company went to Calvin Stovall Jr. and management of Stovall Tractors was given to Mabin Bently. In 1995, Stovall Tractor was sold to Mr. Tommy White and became North Georgia Tractor, Inc . Henry "Calvin" Stovall Jr. was born in Cornelia, Georgia on August 20, 1915. He was the son of the late Henry C. Stovall, Sr. and Elizabeth Patton Phillips Stovall, and was preceded in death by his two sisters, Elizabeth Stovall Cuttino Griffin, and Laura Stovall Davis. Calvin attended Habersham County Schools and received his A.B. degree from the University of Georgia in 1937. He was a member of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. After college he began his career with Commercial Credit Corporation as Office Manager in Columbus, Georgia and Mobile, Alabama. Calvin began his automotive career in 1946 after his release from active duty in the U.S. Army. While in service from November 1940 to February of 1946, Calvin rose in rank from Private to Major. He participated in ten campaigns and received 10 battle stars in the African-European Theater. He retired from the U.S. Army Reserve as a Colonel and Commanding Officer in 1970. The retired President and Chief Executive Officer of Stovall Motor Company and Stovall Tractor Company, both companies founded by his father, Calvin was an active member of the Georgia Automobile Dealers Association (GADA) and the National Automobile Dealers Association. He served as President of the GADA in 1975 and 1976. He was the State of Georgia’s Time Magazine Quality Dealer Award winner in 1974. Calvin was honored by Ford Motor Company on many occasions earning 13 Ford Distinguished Achievement Awards. He represented dealers of the Southeastern Region on the Ford National Dealer Council in 1970. Giving of his time and talents to his automotive career did not keep Calvin from being extremely active in civic, religious, and community endeavors. He served as President of both the Habersham County Chamber of Commerce and the Cornelia Kiwanis Club, and served on the Board of the Cornelia Housing Authority for 40 years. Appointed by Governor Carl Sanders to the State of Georgia Commission on Aging in 1966, he served in that capacity for a six-year term. Governor Jimmy Carter appointed Calvin to the Council on Aging for the Department of Human Resources from 1972-1975. From its inception in the early 1950s, Calvin served on the Executive Committee and as a officer of Wesley Homes, Inc., a United Methodist organization of the North Georgia Conference to care for the aging. In 1974, Calvin was named by the Supreme Court of Georgia to serve on the State Disciplinary Board of the State Bar of Georgia for a two-year term. He was one of the first three lay members who were appointed to serve on this distinguished board. And, in 1990, the Habersham County Rotary Club honored Calvin by naming him a Rotary International Paul Harris Fellow. Several years later, the Cornelia Kiwanis Club honored him with the Kiwanis International Hixson Award and, most recently, named him a Kiwanis Fellow. A long-time supporter of his alma mater, the University of Georgia, Calvin contributed his financial support to the “Memorial Garden” project honoring service men and women who served our country during World Wars. He was a strong advocate and dedicated supporter of Piedmont College as well. Calvin also served his church in virtually every capacity a layman can. Most recently, he served on the Long-Range Planning Committee of the Cornelia United Methodist Church, and, for the last few years, served on the Administrative Board as the church’s representative to the Habersham Christian Learning Center’s Board of Trustees. In 2008, he was elected an honorary life-time member of the Administrative Board. A member of both the Masons and Shriners for over 50 years, Calvin also served as both the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Community Bankshares, Inc. In April 2007 he was named Chairman Emeritus of the bank holding company. He also served on the board of Community Bank & Trust since 1967 and the board of Financial Supermarkets, Inc. from its inception in 1984. Calvin was a charter member of the Habersham Historical Society and was honored by the City of Cornelia in 2008 as the recipient of its Citizenship Award. Through his life-long commitment to his church, his family, and his career, Calvin continually placed the welfare of others above his own. A true “Southern Gentlemen”, he was a living example of a devoted husband to his wife Nancy, father of daughter, Marcia, and friend to many, many people. His example fulfilled the time-honored statement that “Service to others is, indeed, the rent we pay for the space we occupy here on earth.’ Henry “Calvin” Stovall, Jr., died on November 15, 2009 in Cornelia, Georgia after an extended period of declining health. He was 94. We have no affiliation with Stovall Motor Co. Or North Georgia Tractor, Inc. Thank you and Good Luck! |

2015 Ford Mustang already under recall, but just 53 units
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Ford has issued a small - but significant - recall for one of its spotlight cars: the 2015 Mustang.
The recall affects just 53 cars, with 50 in the United States and three in Canada. Ford said the passenger side safety belt buckle tension sensor may not have been calibrated properly by the supplier. This could lead to "misclassification" of the passenger seat occupant, and could cause the airbag to deploy improperly.
A Ford spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement, the automaker said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries, and dealers will replace the buckle assembly at no cost to customers. The cars affected were built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan from Aug. 18 to Oct. 2.
Pickup prices rising at 2x industry average
Tue, 11 Jun 2013We've said it before, but bears repeating: Pickup trucks are the financial engines of America's automakers. Good thing, then, that the segment is in rude health - in fact, Automotive News is suggesting that pickup truck sales are arguably healthier than they were pre-recession, even though the segment's volume is still significantly down from where it was before the bottom fell out of the US economy. That's because per-unit profits on full-size trucks are skyrocketing, outpacing the industry's average price increases by more than double since 2005. According to data from Edmunds, the average transaction price of a full-size pickup is now $39,915 - a heady increase over the $31,059 average price in 2005 - a gain of over 8 percent after inflation is factored in.
Just how important are trucks to automakers' bottom lines? Automotive News quotes a Morgan Stanley analyst as saying the Ford F-Series is responsible for 90 percent of the company's 2012 profits, and General Motors isn't far behind, with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins chipping in about two-thirds of the automaker's earnings.
Automotive News points out that Detroit's automakers now have the money to invest in modernizing their full-size truck offerings, in part because they don't have the same overhead and legacy costs that pushed General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy. Certainly, the pickup segment has seen a lot of innovations as of late, including turbocharged V6s, coil-spring rear suspensions and active aero. Those improvements in important areas like fuel economy and ride comfort have given existing pickup buyers new reasons to upgrade. In addition, automakers are piling on the tech and luxury goodies, creating more and more high-content, high-profit models like the Ford F-150 King Ranch, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and Chevrolet Silverado High Country (shown).
Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
