In 1951 Bob Cochran established Cochran’s Auto Sales located at Franklin Blvd., Eugene Oregon. He ran the business there until specializing in hotrods and classics. In 1988 the business was moved to High Street (across from the 5th Street Public Market) and added a touch of High-Line European and exotic cars. At this time the business was renamed Cochran’s Executive Auto Sales. Mr. Cochran brought in a partner and retired in 1996. The dealership moved to the present location at 1464 W. 6th Avenue, Eugene, Oregon in 2001 and the name was changed to Executive Auto Sales. The store now has over 7000 square feet of inside showroom and service area, and over 20,000 square feet of secure outside display area.
