What started in 1969 as a General Motors Corp.-financed 1.5-acre lot on East Charleston Boulevard has now grown into four family-owned dealerships, with two located on East Sahara Avenue in Las Vegas, one in Henderson and one in Pahrump. “Las Vegas has been very good to our family, to go from one to four (dealerships),” said Greg Heinrich, dealer principal, whose father started the business. Heinrich started his career in the car industry when his family moved to Las Vegas from Bakersfield, Calif., in 1969. His father had been working in the industry since 1950 and brought the family to Las Vegas to acquire a lot of his own.
