10 Tom and Susan Durant’s CLASSIC EMPLOYEES ARE HEROES FOR TEXAS T ADA Chairman-Elect Tom Durant has built one of the most impressive private capital dealer groups in the country, now encompassing 19 dealerships in three states. From his father’s rural Chevrolet dealership in Granbury, Texas to the nation’s largest volume Chevrolet dealership in Grapevine, Tom and Susan Durant and their remarkable dealer partners have spread the Durant customer care philosophy throughout the state. One of the hallmarks of the Classic culture is community involvement and the role of the dealership employees in connecting to local institutions and charities. Thousands of dealership employees throughout the organization mag- nify the community support of Tom and Susan Durant, improving lives and giving hope and opportunity to people and programs that would not succeed without the support of the Classic family.
