Administrative history
Charles Gregory Carter was born at Devizes, Willshire, England in 1887. Carter came to Winnipeg in 1914 and worked in the grocery business until 1921.

In 1930 Carter Motors Ltd. moved to Portage Avenue & Maryland Street. The General Motors dealership remained in the Carter family until 1994 when it was bought by Murray Automotive Group. The family also ran Carter Toyota on McPhillips St.
