Jim Bradley Pontiac Buick GMC was founded by the late Jim Bradley, who became the first African-American GM dealer to reach the milestone of 30 consecutive years in business. Bradley died in 2003, and his general manager, Jim Allen, took over the business in a partnership with William Perkins, a former employee of the dealership.
