THE longest-running family-owned Harley-Davidson dealership in the US has been sold after over 70 years of successful business.
The Harley -loving owners handed down their legacy to a dealership group as they plan to retire.
The Cox family has owned and operated the shop in Rock Hill, South Carolina , a suburb of Charlotte, North Carolina , since 1961.
That was until motorbike fan Carson Baker, a rising star in the automotive industry, finally signed the dotted line this past week.
Now, Jan Cox, one of the owners, is looking forward to retirement and hopes that Baker will have the same success her family has enjoyed.
“We had a strong run catering to riders from York County, Charlotte, Greenville, Myrtle Beach, and beyond,” Cox told PowerSports Business .
“It is our hope that the new owner will be welcomed as they continue this service.”
Cox expressed her gratitude to their customers and looked forward to keeping an eye on the family’s second store in Asheboro, North Carolina.
