Sad but there's one less Ford lover around H-Town...

Tommie Vaughn, owner of an iconic Houston car dealership and a cornerstone of the 1939 Texas A&M national champion football team, died at his home Friday. He was 87.

May he rest in peace!

'39 was the only year we won the National Title. He has got to be one of the last to still be alive from the team. Err, well, he died. You get the point.

The only owner of a Ford dealership in Houston who truely understood the needs of the hot rodder. He will be missed.

my dads a doc and one of his pacients is from the championship team. played offensive line. hes real active in the school. he actually told my dad once that he would get me in to A&M. man that would be bad ass, but a year at SAC will keep the wallet from dieing.

anyways tough loss. he will go down in history books

Just found this story -
It is a sad time in the Ford community in Houston and Texas.
They had the best darn Radio Ad Jingle (song) that went back to the beginning.
The Ford community will miss you Tommie Vaughn.
