June 9, 1952
Wilbur Parks was keenly focused on bringing success to his small company when he founded Parks Superior Sales in 1952. He ventured out into the world alone working hard to handle all the sales and service responsibilities for his new business. Bob Parks was brought into the business by his father a few years later to increase their level of productivity and customer service. Keeping success and determination in the front of every effort they made, the father and son team spent each day travelling and visiting funeral homes up and down the East Coast. They invested in their passion for creating relationships, building relationships, selling vehicles and providing service one customer at a time.
