100 Years of History, And Counting

THE SIGHT FAMILY IN KANSAS CITY

1923

Sight Brothers Chevrolet Kansas City

The dealership was located just outside of the then-vibrant downtown Kansas City at Linwood and Gillham Streets.

1966

Bob Sight Lincoln Mercury

Bob Sight left the partnership at the Chevrolet store and acquired Village Mercury in the up-and-coming Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, Kan. Bob quickly added Lincoln to supplement the Mercury franchise, and Bob Sight Lincoln Mercury was born. With two Sight family dealerships in the area, the Sight name soon became a staple in Kansas City.

1967

Bill Sight remained dealer principal of the family’s original Sight Bros. Chevrolet. In 1967, he renamed the dealership Bill Sight Chevrolet, which is how it remained until it closed in the early 1980s following losses from the oil crises and interest rate spikes.
