The Swope Family of Dealerships
The Swope Family of Dealerships began in 1952 when two entrepreneurial brothers, Sam and Bill Swope, relocated from Ohio to start new car dealerships in Kentucky. Their first store was a Dodge, Plymouth dealership in Elizabethtown with no showroom and two gas pumps out front. Now known as the Swope Family of Dealerships, the group includes 8 dealerships in the Elizabethtown, Radcliff and Louisville markets representing Chrysler; Dodge; Jeep; RAM; Toyota; Ford; Mitsubishi; Hyundai; and Nissan. In 2022 the group acquired Commonwealth Motorcycles in Louisville, and rebranded the location as Swope Motorsports, bringing Ducati, KTM, Triumph, Aprilia, and Vespa/Piaggio into the Swope portfolio. Today, the Swope Family of Dealerships is celebrating over 70 years of delivering an exceptional purchase and ownership experience and is led by the third generation of Swopes.
