The business began as “Ted and Markies” repair shop. In 1940 they entered in
the new car field. The owners were Mark Nelson and Ted Hugh. The business was
known as Hugh-Nelson Motors. In 1960 Nelson and sons bought out the interest of
Ted Hugh. The Rambler was the vehicle line the carried. Eventually the name was
changed to Nelson Motors and the car line became American Motors. One of the
popular vehicles in the late 60’s was the Javelin and the AMC. Both were sports
cars and were meant to rival the Mustangs and Camaros.
