Only one car dealership in Estill County KY

Irvine no longer has a Ford or GM dealership. Once upon a time, Roy Royalty had a Pontiac dealership at the corner of main and River Drive. Elliott and Witt had a Ford and Buick garage on Broadway. Bunt Gross had Chevy and Olds dealerships on Main Street and Richmond Road. Now there is only one dealership: Cornett Chrysler dealership.

I don't know why Ford or GM thinks the Estill County market isn't big enough for a dealership. I do know that both companies had more market share back when they had dealerships in every little town in KY.
