4 Generations of Service

The Old Downtown Dealership

Since our beginning on the corner of Washington and Hill streets in March 1929, when Pepsi and candy bars sold for a nickel each, Davenport Autopark has been a family owned and operated business dedicated to exceptional service and outstanding community involvement. Founded by the late David Davenport selling Pontiac and Oakland vehicles, he quickly grew the business into one of the country’s most recognized dealerships.

In the early years, Davenport operated on a 24-hour schedule. As stated: “Davenport Motor Co. In the heart of the city. Open all night. Call 286 for service.” Our dedication to serving our customers has been our trademark to this day. The Cadillac name was added to their line of vehicles in 1935 and Honda came on board in 1974. You could get a Honda then for $2,500-$2,800. Isuzu was added in 1991, but for only 7 years, because in 1998 Cadillac and Isuzu were exchanged for GMC and Buick. The line-up was completed as it remains today: Honda, GMC and Buick.
