Edward Davis (February 27, 1911 – May 3, 1999) was an American car dealer.
Davis was born in Shreveport, Louisiana in 1911 and his family moved to the Detroit area in 1921.
After graduating from Cass Tech, Davis opened a car wash but would eventually find success in sales at a local Dodge dealership.
Studebaker Corporation faced financial difficulties in the 1950s which led to Davis closing his dealership in 1956.
[2][3] Following his retirement from the car business, Davis accepted an appointment as general manager of the Detroit mass transit system from mayor Roman Gribbs.
