Sheehy carries on his father’s legacy as an auto dealer, manning the largest dealership group in Virginia and one of the largest in the nation. His late father, Vincent Sheehy III, founded Sheehy Ford in Maryland in 1965 as a suburban business near the newly built Capital Beltway.
Sheehy Auto Stores was ranked No. 33 in the nation’s top 150 car dealership groups as listed by Automotive News in May. According to the list, Sheehy reported $2.36 billion in group revenue for 2024 at its 28 dealerships.
After graduating from Dickinson College, receiving an MBA from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, and working for Prudential and General Mills, the younger Sheehy joined the family business in the late 1980s and became president in 1998. Sheehy Auto Stores is the largest retailer of Fords and Nissans in the mid- Atlantic region, and it added two Maryland Toyota and Volvo dealerships in November 2024.
In 2023, the Sheehy family donated $3.65 million to Catholic University of America’s Metropolitan School of Professional Studies to endow the Sheehy Family Scholarship.
Sheehy is a trustee of Dickinson College in Pennsylvania.
