As a brief introduction to working with me as a connection, I've spent most of my life in the luxury and performance automobile business. I grew up in the car business helping my dad since before I was in Elementary school. I've successfully run, owned and managed several fairly large high line import stores, so I've made and kept friends in all areas of the automotive industry.

To my present dealership groups, I bring my willingness to create and maintain a successful customer-service oriented dealership to everything I do. From the largest to smallest deal, I appreciate your business with me and for the opportunity to connect here.

Until I see you online again, at the dealership, we speak by phone or meet in person at a local community restaurant or special exotic car event, be well, stay safe, drive for fun, and PLAY IN TRAFFIC.

  2003 — 2005 (2 years )

  Serving the Western North Carolina Region, an area known for it's Hill Climb races and driving for pleasure on the winding mountain roads. Though I am a Formula One lover, it is easy to understand how and why this Southeastern regional area helped create the designs for the historical moonshine running cars that inspired NASCAR. Home of the Grove Park Inn, the largest collection of Art Deco buildings outside of South Beach in Miami, Florida, and the Biltmore Estate (the largest private home in America--formerly owned by George Vanderbuilt), the Blue Ridge Mountains and Smokey Mountains offer driving enthusiasts the perfect travel or get away spot to enjoy an abundance of challenging yet still "scenic vista" roads.
  
  My base was Asheville, North Carolina, just one hour from Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina, two hours from Knoxville, Tennessee or Greensboro, three hours from Charlotte, and four hours by car to Atlanta, Georgia or Raleigh.

• SON, Purchase and Trade Agent

  Jack Davis Sr. Motors [1948-1980]

  (Automotive industry)

  1960 — 1980 (20 years )

  The car business means more to me than just a job or a source of income. The car business, to me, means family.
  
  Selling cars and being an integral part of whatever community I reside in is in my blood. I grew up watching my father live and breathe every day of his life as professional financier and a highly successful dealer principal in the automotive industry.
  
  As the son of a man actively involved in his community, I was raised knowing that how you respect yourself and deal professionally others means everything. Over the years, his dealerships owned or sold a little bit of everything...
  
  If you have a fairly extensive knowledge of automobiles dating back as early as the 1950's--from luxury cars to muscle cars to custom race cars to European performance models and Exotics--I'd love to chat with you some time. If I didn't own something growing up or work on it when it came through the shop, chances are I had the opportunity to drive it when it came through one of our lots.

  Expertise , Automotive Industry

  I bought my first car wholesale when I was 12 years old using money I had saved up from various odd jobs around the dealership and Christmas gift monies. I still remember collecting my silver dollars and scraping together change to take to the auction with me. The car, a 1963 Chevy Nova, was $425 (including the $25 auction fee). I took it home that night with help from my dad, and spent the next week getting it cleaned up, detailed, rebuilt and ready. You know, I sold that car in less than two weeks and made over $200. Not bad for kiddie money. I immediately rolled the profit and some quickly earned extra elbow grease money into a dark Green 1969 Opel GT and a 1966 Pontiac Catalina (a four speed manual, red, with a white top and white interior). Though I was not old enough to enjoy driving these cars yet when I owned them, the rest, as they say, is dealer trade history.

  Activities and Societies:

  I started working on my father's horse farm when I was 8; the first things I learned to drive and maintain were tractors and large machinery; I learned to drive a Volvo inside a dirt track horse ring; once I turned 16 I began hot rod racing; I learned to customize cars because my dad owned a race team and his chief mechanic taught me; I attended private schools and learned the appropriate etiquette for business; I've been around trading and racing everything since.
