Harper Motors is proud to be one of America's oldest automobile dealerships. Established in 1912 in Eureka, California, we are a true family business. Founder, Harvey M. Harper, traveled from Arizona to Eureka with his family in a 1912 Ford Model-T to settle and begin his Ford dealership in downtown Eureka, located approximately 250 miles north of San Francisco. Today, great-grandson Trevor Harper oversees the operation that has been serving the North Coast for over 100 years. The dealership is located between the cities of Eureka and Arcata on Highway 101 along California's scenic north coast. Harper Motor's trademark 1947 Alan Herschell carousel is visible from the freeway and entertains young and old alike.
