HISTORY OF RUSSELL & SMITH

Russell & Smith Automotive Group is a well established, family owned and run dealership serving the greater Houston area for over 70 years. We have a history of providing our customers with unparalleled customer service and a first-class sales experience.

In 1937, John Ivy and Lindsey G. Russell introduced Ivy-Russell Motors located at 2201 Main Street. In 1946 Ivy-Russell Motors outgrew it's original home and moved to 2021 Milam Street. In 1965, W.C. Smith bought Mr. Ivy's stock in Ivy-Russell Motors. Lindsey G. Russell's legacy passed down to his son, Bill Russell and Ivy-Russell Motors became Russell & Smith Ford, Inc. The dealership continued to grow and in 1970 moved to the present location, 3440 South Loop West.

Russell & Smith Automotive Group welcomed two new franchises, Honda in 1973 and Mazda in 2005. Russell & Smith continues to serve our customers with the quality of service that they deserve in every aspect of the business 70 years and running. Experience the Russell and Smith Mazda difference!
