Our History
The name Silver has represented honor and hard work since founder Carl D. Silver started his first business in 1941.
History of Silver Companies
After serving in WWII, Carl started a used car dealership that quickly grew into a successful business with Buick and Pontiac franchises in Fredericksburg, VA. The customer satisfaction back then promised and delivered a reputation for integrity, a reputation that still persists today at Silver Companies.
