Future Uncertain for Old Colony Dodge

Old Colony Dodge's days could be numbered if the land and buildings occupied by the dealership are sold.

With the owner of the land selling the property, the car dealership would be forced to move all their operations into one building if one of the proprities are sold according to co-owner Ted Bancroft.

"If he (the landlord) sells one of our buildings, we'll just move operations into the other one," Bancroft said.

Despite the uncertainty of a sale, Brancroft says there are no plans to close. The co-owner did say however, they would have to make a counter offer if both buildings are sold.

While Bancroft denies plans for shutting down, co-owner Manny Braga told the Sun Chronicle the dealership would likely close on May 17 due to declining business.

Old Colony Dodge is one of three car dealers in Mansfield. Lance Buick GMC and Mansfield Jeep Chrysler are the other two.
