Larry Beckman grew up in Ida Grove and Westside, Iowa, graduating from AR-WE-VA High School in 1957.  He and his wife, Bev, first came to Odebolt when they bought the local Chrysler franchise from Marvin Friday in 1968.  The Beckmans added a Ford franchise in 1979 and moved their business to the building at 116 East Second Street, which now houses the Odebolt Community Center.  This building served the business until 1999-2000 when a new structure was built on the east edge of Odebolt along highway 175.
