About Cecil Atkission Ford Lincoln

After over 30 years in the car business, the Cecil Atkission Automotive Group draws its personality and much of our culture from our founder and namesake. Cecil Atkission started the business after serving in Vietnam and rising through the ranks at Capitol Chevrolet in Austin, Texas. His wife Nancy grew up on U.S. Air Force bases around the world as her father, a jet pilot, met his assignments throughout Cold War duty stations. Some of their employees say it is just because Cecil and Nancy are real, friendly, and kind people. Others, very familiar with them, will tell you that a very conservative entrepreneurial stream runs through their veins.

Cecil Atkission is one of us. The son of a West Texas Cattleman, Cecil spent his early years learning to appreciate hard work. He grew up in the cattle and livestock freight business with a genuine appreciation for basic values and the importance of family.

As the manufacturers began to notice his prowess in pleasing customers, opportunities began to develop to acquire new vehicle franchise dealerships in Texas. First, with General Motors and Chrysler Corporation and eventually with Ford, Lincoln, and Toyota, the Cecil Atkission name began to stand for fair dealing, easy transactions, and a fun business atmosphere.
