The Ed Morse Automotive Group has expanded its reach with the acquisition of three dealerships in Fairfield, Texas.

The company bought the dealerships from Foundation Automotive Corp. and will rename them as follows:

  • Freedom Ford by Ed Morse, formerly Freestone Ford at 1201 US Highway 84 W, Fairfield

  • Freedom Chevrolet by Ed Morse, formerly Freestone Chevrolet at 320 I-45, Fairfield

  • Freedom Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM by Ed Morse, formerly Freestone Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM at 350 I-45, Fairfield

The group made the investment after being “impressed both by the incredible staff in place and the loyal car buying residents in Fairfield and its surrounding area,” said Chairman and CEO Teddy Morse in a press release. “Our team is excited to be part of such a vibrant community and will continue these dealerships’ history of exceptional deals and outstanding customer service.”
