Main Motors
Main Motors was located at the intersection of
Main Street and 4th Avenue. At one time Main Motors was owned by
Missouri Valley Motors of Bismarck. On April 1, 1960, four people purchased the
business and changed the name to Main Motors. Those four included Don Moe,
Alvin Officer, Bert LaHart and Sam Marshall. In 1960 Moe and Officer bought out
the other two and became the principal owners. In March of 1963 Main Motors was
moved to a new location at 108 #rd St. and became Lahart-Moe Inc. The business
was franchised through and sold all Chrysler products. Eventually Don Moe would
buy out Lahart and move the business to 3615 South Broadway under the name of
Don Moe Motors. Through other owners and name changes the business became Minot
Chrysler Center and is now known as Minot Automotive Center, selling Chrysler
and Toyota products.
