Bill Heard Enterprises
 PROFILE
The South is alive with the sound of Chevys -- music to the ears of Bill Heard Enterprises. The largest Chevrolet dealer in the world (according to Chevrolet Motor Division), Bill Heard has about 15 dealerships in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas. The dealer sells both new and used vehicles and auto supplies and offers repair services; it also owns Oldsmobile and Cadillac franchises in Atlanta and Columbus, Georgia. William Heard Sr. opened his first dealership in 1919. He switched to selling Chevrolets exclusively in 1932, and his son and grandsons, who now run the family-owned business, continue to focus on Chevy sales.
