History

Established in 1911.

In 1911, the first Sewell car dealership began when Carl Sewell Sr. began selling Model T Fords in the back of a hardware store that doubled as a movie theater. Here, the Sewell family laid the foundation for their business: an attitude toward outstanding customer service.

When the Great Depression hit and Carl lost the money he had placed in three banks, the Sewells moved to West Texas in 1929. The business thrived, thanks to their focus on service. In 1941, Carl and his wife Louise moved to Dallas, bringing the family back to where it all began. Sewell Village Cadillac opened in 1957, becoming a flagship and starting a long tradition of service and luxury.

Carl Sr. passed away after selling his last Cadillac on May 5, 1972. His legacy passed on to his son, Carl Jr., who went on to open multiple dealerships in Dallas/​Fort Worth, in San Antonio, and later in Houston.
