Business Bill Lehman Jr. parked his family's Lehman Dealership Enterprises in the hands of a national firm based in Oregon, dropping off the Miami business his father, a former U.S. congressman, started 86 years ago. The 81-year-old Lehman and his family sold their automobile sales business for an undisclosed amount to the publicly traded Lithia Motors & Driveway, culminating seven months of negotiations, Lehman said in an interview this week. The sale includes the eight Lehman locations: Honda, Genesis, Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi, Buick, GMC, Subaru dealerships in Florida City, Doral, North Miami and Miami Gardens.
