Over a century ago in 1880, David Shanahan, a young blacksmith, started building horse-drawn buggies and sleighs in Penetanguishene, Ontario. This was the beginning of the Shanahan Carriage Co. Ltd.

In 1965, Paddy Shanahan accepted a Ford franchise and purchased several acres of open land in Agincourt. Today, only one Ford dealer in Toronto has been in business longer than Shanahan Ford. In 1980, Shanahan acquired a Ford dealership in Newmarket and expanded into that town.

Many of the more than 60 employees of the company have long and distinguished records of service. Our employees are judged not only for their skills, but they must also be deemed to be good citizens, ethical and loyal to the company and its customers.
