Ingram’s entrepreneurial spirit led him to the used car sector. In 1999 he and Ken Shilson started NABD to help educate BHPH Dealers.
“He is one of the most entertaining and knowledgeable voices in this space. We are thrilled to have him closing out the Dealer Forum,” said NIADA CEO Jeff Martin.
“I can tell you a lot about BHPH what to do and what not to do,” Walters said. “One thing I learned, the more money a man has, the harder it is to get that money.
“Come to New Orleans. I’ll be there to help.”
