Buick GMC salutes Conley's 25th anniversary

Big ups to Jeff Conley.
The Conley Buick GMC president was saluted Thursday on his 25th anniversary as a dealer by the Buick Motor Division. His dad, Iley, was a Buick dealer in 1960 in Portsmouth, Ohio, before moving the family to Bradenton in 1966. They once owned multiple Buick dealerships in Plant City, Cincinnati and Atlanta.
The Conleys have been with Buick 53 years.
