May 7, 1931, Red River Motor Company was started by Shreveport/Bossier businessman Patton Hawkins. The same family still owns and operates the business to this day. Mr. Hawkins ran the dealership from 1931 until 1954. His son-in-law, Jim Fritze, joined the dealership the day after he ended his military career in 1953. Jim Fritze took over in 1960 until he retired in 2012. Currently, his son, George Fritze, is the head of the Red River Chevy family. George started working at the dealership in 1970 and became a partner and dealer in 1986. George’s son, Patton Fritze, and son-in-law, Alvin Olsan, are now partners with him in the ownership and management of the dealership.
