Bob Cole founded Cole European more than 50 years ago. But that's just a small part of the story that exemplifies Bob's philosophy: press on, regardless.
Â
After graduating from the University of Minnesota, Bob Cole headed west. It didn't take long for him to capitalize on his passion for anything and everything to do with automobiles: he raced as an amateur on the California sports car road racing circuit for the next 10 years. Bob won many championships and was a member of the TRIUMPH factory team at Sebring Florida. Quite literally, it was these racing accomplishments that propelled Bob into the Sports Car business in 1963 and away from other promising pursuits. His innate driving skills, positive outlook and engaging personality combined with an inestimable enthusiasm for the automobile and its attendant industry, led Bob to open his first sports car dealership in San Bruno, California, selling and servicing Triumph, Alfa Romeo, Lotus, Saab, Morgan and Ferrari. He acquired a Volvo franchise and a second dealership in San Carlos in 1965, thus laying the foundation for a continuing pattern of excellence through a mantra of thoughtful and well-trained professional care that continues to this day.
