SELINSGROVE — Selinsgrove Ford is celebrating 60 years.  “We have been in Selinsgrove since 1953,” says President Todd Benner.  The official 60th anniversary is in May, the business actually spans further back and with a different name. “We actually started out in Middleburg in 1943, but we were called Benner Motors.  Then ten years later my grandfather brought the business down to Selinsgrove and we became Ford franchised.” Benner says a business does not stay around for 60 years if you do not give back to the community and he thanks all of the surrounding counties who have given to them.
