Glenn Polk
President & Owner
Glenn Polk
Glenn started his career in the car business in 1971 while on a two-week vacation from his electrical job. He rapidly excelled in this new endeavor as he quickly understood that customer satisfaction is the key to success. Within the first six months of his new venture, Glenn was offered several promotions, eventually leading him to California where he opened a new dealership for his business partner. Having deep roots in Texas and missing family, Glenn decided to come back to Fort Worth and run dealerships in Fort Worth with having a vision of building his own dealership one day. In 1995 Glenn's dream of owning his store came true when the doors opened to Glenn Polk Ford-Mercury. Within three years he acquired the local Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep & Ram dealership in Gainesville, then moved it next to our Ford store. In 2016, Glenn decided to take a break and enjoy life outside of the car business. However, retirement only lasted three years, and he couldn't stay away from what he loves doing every day. Today, you'll often see Glenn traveling back and forth between all five of our locations, greeting customers, chatting with employees & enjoying the car business just like his first day of sales back in 1971. During his time off, Glenn enjoys traveling with his wife Mary and knocking out those "honey-do's" around the house.
