BC VANCOUVER Carter Pontiac Buick Ltd, (1963)

This dealership began 48 years ago and is still going strong to date. The Carter dealer plate was seen all over the Lower Mainland for many years. Carter Pontiac Buick Ltd was located at 5799 West Broadway in the 1960s.

Carter expanded and has many businesses listed under the umbrella of the name Carter Automotive Family. As of 2011 there are two dealers for Chevrolet: Carter Chevrolet in North Vancouver, BC (1998) and Carter Chevrolet in Port Coquitlam, BC. The Carter Pontiac Buick Ltd. Burnaby, BC location has been at 4550 Lougheed Hwy for decades now. The demise of Pontiac forced a name change to Carter GM. 

Carter has also branched out of the strictly GM circles with a dealership in Burnaby, BC called Carter Dodge as well as a Carter Honda in Vancouver, BC. Carter Dodge Chrysler was incorporated Jun 4, 1987, taking over Brentwood Dodge Ltd which had its beginning Jan 26, 1960 as Brentwood Dodge- DeSoto Ltd.

They also run a glass shop and a motorcycle dealership.
