HOME Doing business as a family in Jennings County for 57 years.
Lendal Patterson –
In 1945, I returned to North Vernon
after serving in the Army during World War II. I resumed my job with the B &
O Railroad. I began repairing, painting & selling used cars to friends and
family as a sideline. In the early 50’s, I opened my first car lot and gas
station. The automotive business has been a major part of my life. Complete
customer satisfaction plus
our fine automobiles, great value and service is what brings people back to
Patterson Auto generation after generation. I have been married to Pauline Ison
for 60 years. We have three children, Darrell, Dwight and Kimberly. I enjoy church activities. My hobbies
include gardening and
walking.

1974. I became co-owner of Patterson Auto, Inc. in 1984. I gained valuable
experience in working with my father. Our business
has succeeded over the years because of our honesty and the way we treat our
customers. We have the highest quality pre-owned cars and trucks and stand
behind what we sell. I am always looking for the hard-to-find vehicle to satisfy
our customers. My hobbies include classic car restoration, golfing, and family
time. I am married to Marisa Whiteaker and have
three children, Casey, Danielle and Ellen.

all of the aspects of the business. My experiences working with my father and
brother have made our business a success. I have
