Lithia Motors began in 1946 when Walt DeBoer opened a single car dealership in Ashland, Oregon. The first year the five person company sold 14 cars. Next, in 1968 Walt DeBoer died and his son Sidney DeBoer took over the company. Sidney reorganized the business and in 1970 purchased a Dodge dealership in Medford. With this Lithia’s base of operation moved to Medford and grew to a total of five stores with 19 franchises by 1990.〔(About Lithia. ) Lithia.com. Retrieved on September 15, 2007.〕
In December 1996 the company went public, trading on the New York Stock Exchange with an IPO of $11 per share.〔 By 2003, Lithia had revenues of $2.5 billion from its 84 dealerships while employing just over 5,500 people.〔Brinckman, Jonathan.
