A Westbrook company is considering purchasing Fordland Lincoln Mercury, an Auburn automobile dealership that has been owned by the same family for 64 years.

Fordland was opened by William H. Cummings Sr. in 1922, said William Harkins, executive vice president of the Lewiston-Auburn Chamber of Commerce. It had operated under the name of Auburn Motor Sales Inc. for many years, he said.

The dealership employs between 60 and 70 people, Harkins said.
