Phil Winslow has headed the auto dealership that bears his name for 60 years through three locations, and the 81-year-old entrepreneur doesn't plan to retire anytime soon.
His son, Phil Winslow Jr. already owns the building and land for Winslow BMW of Colorado Springs near Instate 25 and North Nevada Ave. and eventually will take over the dealership. Phil Winslow Sr. and his wife, Ann, sold 20% of the dealership to general manager Gregg Randolph in 2014, when he became managing partner, to allow the couple to reduce their day-to-day role in the company.
"I have no time frame (for the transition to his son). What else would I do? I don't plan on ever retiring," said Phil Winslow Sr., who took over the dealership in 1964 after the sudden death of his father from pneumonia and was first a partner in the business with his mother and later with Ann, who he married in 1976 and has been mostly involved in marketing efforts for the business.
