Heritage Chevrolet

Established in 1982, we've always been a proud part of Carter Myers Automotive. CMA is a fourth generation family and employee-owned business. Our company originated in 1902 as Stockdell-Myers Hardware Store located in downtown Petersburg, Virginia. The hardware store was liquidated and reincorporated in 1924 as Petersburg Motor Company, Inc. with H. Carter Myers serving as President. When the stock market crashed and the Great Depression took hold, Elizabeth Myers, a Northwestern Insurance representative and Carter Myers sister, purchased company shares in order to give the company a cash infusion. After his death in 1934 his son, H. Carter Myers, Jr. took over as President. Carter Jr. kept the business going with the help of his aunt who continued to purchase shares. At one point she owned 75% of the business. Carter Jr. took a leave of absence to serve in the US Navy during World War II and returned to CMA in 1945. CMA saw substantial growth over the next 2 decades under his leadership. CURRENT LEADERSHIP
