General Info

Law Auto Sales began as Law and Kowalk back in 1938. Francis X. Law, who fathered 10 children, 6 of which were boys, began the business with a small used car lot on Livernois Avenue with a partner by the name of Frank Kowalk. As his sons grew older, Francis began to employ his boys and eventually split his partnership with Kowalk and moved the lot to Grand River Avenue near Oakman Boulevard. The company now assumed the name of Law Motor Sales. The boys became adults and eventually branched out and began their own car lots. At one time there were 3 different lots within a quarter of a mile on Grand River competing against each other! Francis retired in the early 60's and his sons Nestor, Vincent and Thomas continued to run the various lots on Grand River while sons Dick and Jack took jobs at new car dealerships. His youngest son, Jerry, had died tragically in a car accident in Canada in the late fifties.
