Asplund Toyota – Wendall Asplund started his first service garage and
body shop on Minot’s north side in 1927. The first franchise Asplund had was
the Pullman Coach. Through the years Asplund also sold Kaiser vehicles, Willys
and finally in 1955, Studebaker. Asplund eventually became the Toyota dealer.
When I first had dealings with Asplund Toyota they were located on South
Broadway, just south of the old Frosaker Motor building. The service/shop
entrance was located on Broadway. Driving in was no problem. To back out, you
needed someone to watch traffic as you exited. Asplund eventually built a
dealership on north hill. The Toyota franchise was purchased by Ryan Chevrolet
and then by Minot Chrysler.
Purchased a new 1971 Toyota Celica GT from Asplands at their tiny Broadway location. Loved that car. No outside display space. The few vehicles they had in inventory were all inside. I do remember the difficulty backing out of their garage.
