About Us

We're about building lasting relationships.

In 1918, J. Robertson Paul, a Rhodes Scholar fresh from Oxford, returned home to Charleston, South Carolina. Observing the rapid rise of the "horseless carriage," he seized the opportunity, incorporating Paul Motor Company and securing Ford franchise rights. His vision and drive led to a friendship with Henry Ford, cementing the company’s early success as a trusted automotive dealer group in the Southeast, known for quality service and innovative marketing.

Today, Paul Motor Company continues to be family-owned and operated by Robertson Paul's great-grandsons, who have expanded the business to become a leading leasing company based in Montreal. While the company has evolved over the years, the values and principles established by J. Robertson Paul continue to guide the business and shape its culture and values today.

The Palmetto tree, South Carolina’s state emblem, has been chosen as the company's logo, paying homage to the official state tree of South Carolina, where the company's roots began. The Palmetto tree represents strength, resilience, and a deep connection to the local community, values that are at the heart of Paul Motor Company's culture.

Today, our experienced team provides car-enthusiasts with strategic leasing advice, without sales pressure. Our commitment to excellence stems from our unwavering belief in treating people the way we would want to be treated.  

We look forward to welcoming you to our dealership located at 4009 rue de Verdun, in Montreal, and helping you meet your automotive needs in the most pleasant way possible.
