History

Established in 1985.

The history of Bachman Auto Group actually began in 1924 when Elwood Priestley became an Oldsmobile dealer in Madison, WV. He drove his cars up and down the «hollers» of West Virginia showing people the exciting new form of transportation that was sure to change their lives.

One of his son-​in-​laws, Joe Holland, a native of Benton, Kentucky, entered the automobile business in 1952. Joe had played basketball for the University of Kentucky and was a key contributor on their 1948 NCAA Championship team. In 1962, Joe and his wife Betty bought out Rhodes Holland Chevrolet in South Charleston, WV and Joe Holland Chevrolet was established.

The third generation of this automobile family began when Joe’s and Betty’s daughter Teresa worked in the office or on the switchboard of Joe Holland Chevrolet during her tenure at George Washington High School. After graduating with a business degree from the University of Kentucky, she married Steve Bachman.
