Long McArthur Celebrates Milestone Anniversary With Chamber Gathering
Long McArthur is celebrating a milestone most businesses only dream about: 75 years of selling vehicles, serving customers and staying rooted in Salina.
Family-owned and operated since 1951, Long McArthur has grown into one of the best-known automotive names in Central Kansas. Now five generations strong, the dealership is marking 75 years in business with the kind of pride that only comes from sticking around, adapting with the times, and still remembering where it started.
That is no small thing.
In an industry that has changed dramatically over the decades, from chrome-heavy classics to today’s technology-packed trucks, SUVs, hybrids, and performance vehicles, Long McArthur has remained a familiar name for Salina families, farmers, business owners, and vehicle buyers across the region.
The dealership is also celebrating the milestone in true car-lover fashion, including a 2026 Mustang LMP 810 75th Anniversary Edition. Because apparently just saying “thank you” was not loud enough, so they added horsepower. Beyond the vehicles, Long McArthur has also built a reputation for being involved in the community. Through its Driven to Give Back efforts, the dealership has supported local charities, schools, youth programs, and community organizations throughout the area.
For Salina, Long McArthur is more than a dealership on South Ninth Street. It is one of those local institutions people know by name. Generations of customers have bought their first car there, traded up there, serviced vehicles there, or simply watched the business continue to grow along with the community.
Seventy-five years in business does not happen by accident. It takes customer trust, consistent service, strong local support, and a willingness to keep moving forward without forgetting the values that built the company in the first place.
Salina311 congratulates Long McArthur on 75 years of business, community investment, and local staying power.
Here’s to the next 75.
