About Us
Parks Motor Group was founded in April of 1975 by Jack Parks with the inception of Northgate Lincoln Mercury in Tampa, Florida; changing it's name in January of 2011 to Parks Lincoln of Tampa. Jack Parks' son Randy Parks soon followed with the acquisition of Longwood Lincoln Mercury in November 1979; changing it's name to Parks Lincoln of Longwood in 2011. This expanded Parks Motor Group to the Orlando, Florida Market. In June 1983, Jack Parks' son Ron Parks acquired Heritage Ford in Wesley Chapel, Florida adding the blue oval to the Parks Motor Group family. Not stopping there, Randy Parks decided to branch out of the automotive arena and in August of 1983, Seminole Powersports was born. Seminole Powersports started out offering Honda with the soon after addition of Kawasaki, Yamaha and now Can-Am and Sea Doo. Ron Parks had his eye on Toyota, so in August of 1988, Ron acquired Stadium Toyota in Tampa. Then in April of 1992, Randy Parks aquired DeLand Toyota thus expanding the Orlando Market to now the Orlando/Volusia Market. Not stopping with Lincoln, Mercury, Powersports and Toyota; Randy then acquired Ford Lincoln and Hyundai of Gainesville, bringing the blue oval and Hyundai to Gainesville, Florida.
