Harold "Red" Leonard
Red Leonard began his professional career at 3M where he worked in the
accounting department. In 1953, Mr. Leonard went to work Chrysler when he
joined Adamson's Desoto Dealership in Rochester, MN. Red climbed through
the ranks and became Assistant General Manager and ran the day-to-day
operations of this dealership. Red Married his wife, Jeri, in 1954 and they
have two sons Tom and Jim.
One of Red's goals had been to return to his hometown, and in 1963 he was
given the chance to purchase the Vogel Chrysler Dealership in South St Paul.
The dealership was located in a Quonset hut that is located on Concord St
and included one car and four spark plugs. Red Named his dealership Fury
Motors. In 1967 the dealership moved into a new building at 740 N. Concord
St. Over the next 30 years, Red and his family grew this dealership into
one of the largest and most successful Chrysler dealerships in the State of
Minnesota. In 1999, Fury Motors moved to a new location at the intersection
of 494 and Concord street. Through out this time red fought to keep his
dealership in South St Paul-a part of the community he grew up in and loves.
Since moving to 494 and Concord St, Red has also acquired the Jeep and Dodge
lines to offer a full service Chrysler Jeep and Dodge Alpha point. Red's
philosophy has always been "if you take care of the customer in service,
they will come back to you for sales." That is as true today as it has ever
been.
People are often surprised that on a daily basis, Red still is at work at
Fury Motors, and you can often hear him say "my work became my hobby."
