Born in Basrah, Iraq, Mr. Daoud moved to the United States in 1956. He attended Highland Park HS where he learned to speak English, then graduated from Lawrence Tech. Soon after, he met Helen, the woman he knew he would marry the moment he saw her. He started his career in 1963, selling new cars and learning the business. In 1971, as general manager, he purchased Al Long Ford when Mr. Long passed away. Over the years Mr. Daoud was recognized many times as a leader in the automotive community and was nominated as 2005's Time Magazine Dealer of the Year.
Daoud was a man whose focus was on giving. A great philanthropist, his passions included education, the arts, and international diplomacy.
