Carter Myers Automotive (CMA) originated in 1902 as Stockdell-Myers Hardware Store, located in downtown Petersburg, Virginia. The hardware store was liquidated and reincorporated in 1924 as Petersburg Motor Company by H. Carter Myers.  His son, H. Carter Myers, Jr., eventually joined the business and with the help of his aunt, Elizabeth Myers, kept it going throughout the Great Depression and World War II.

H. Carter Myers III, grandson of the founder, joined the company after graduating from the University of Virginia’s McIntire School of Commerce in 1965.  He was elected President in 1974 and is now Chief Executive Officer.  He has been very active in the automotive industry, serving as Virginia Automotive Dealers Association (VADA) President in 1995 and as Chair of the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) in 2002. 

In 2003, the fourth generation, Liza Myers Borches, joined the Carter Myers Automotive executive management team.  She graduated from the University of Virginia McIntire School of Commerce in 1997 and worked with American Honda for almost seven years before coming to CMA. On January 1, 2008, Borches became Vice President of Dealership Operations for CMA. And in 2009 she became the first 4th generation dealer to be on the board of the VADA.
