  • Fully Detailed: Autopark Chrysler Jeep in Cary

    There’s a hot buzzword flying around the nation’s capital: “economic patriotism.” We at Leith Cars would like to borrow that phrasing for this week’s Fully Detailed. Few things are more American than Chrysler and Jeep – both are icons of our culture. The most appropriate question to ask is… What shows more economic patriotism than…

  • Leith Fully Detailed: The Knee-Slappers at Leith, Inc. Authorized Mercedes-Benz Sales and Service

    Sound the trumpets, and set the lights to strobe: Leith Fully Detailed is focusing today on our Mercedes-Benz dealer in Raleigh: Leith, Inc. Authorized Mercedes-Benz Sales and Service.

  • Leith Fully Detailed: Autopark Honda

    At Leith Cars, we dedicate each Monday to the series Fully Detailed: a look at what distinguishes our people from the competition.

  • Leith Fully Detailed: The Thoughtful Modesty of Leith Volvo

    Every Monday, to quote Edward Murrow, “we dig deep in our history and our doctrine” to find one of our dealerships and tell its story. Murrow was a legendary journalist and a Tar Heel, after all, a native of Guilford County, so we feel he has some connection to how we tell stories. Today we…

  • Fully Detailed: Chris Leith Kia

    It’s hard to believe that we’re already two-thirds of the way through profiling all of the dealerships in the Leith family. Pretty soon we’re going to have to think of a new column that will take over on Monday after we’ve finished with Leith Fully Detailed. Until then, we still have another eleven dealerships to…

    Ready the Twitter. Compose the Facebook. Bring the Google Plus into being.

There are some good things about Monday: the inching toward Friday, the initial…

  • Best in Class: 1951 Chrysler New Yorker – A Royal Tour Car

    As the auction kicks off this morning, our post of the week comes from the Raleigh Classic blog, wherein we get a closer look at a Chrysler New Yorker fit for royalty. Enjoy. — To say that the Chrysler New Yorker is a stately vehicle would be well-earned. Produced from 1940 to 1996, this was…
