Jack Kennedy

Jack Kennedy II and his family have been serving the Inland Empire and its automotive needs for over 50 years. We began in 1956 as Kennedy Pontiac in Riverside before becoming Kennedy Cadillac of San Bernardino in 1974.
Like his father, he is proud to be a member of this vital and ever-changing community. He has always been heavily involved with the charitable and civic organizations such as the San Bernardino Lighthouse for the Blind, the Riverside National Cemetery Medal of Honor Memorial and the Redlands Optimists Club.
Most importantly, we are a family dealership with an extended family of employees-most of who have worked at Kennedy Cadillac for ten to thirty-five years. We invite you to join that extended family and enjoy the Kennedy Cadillac difference.
When not working, he enjoys fishing of all types, from fly-fishing to deep-sea, and has traveled the world chasing the big one. Feel free to stop by sometime and see some pictures or let him tell you one of his great fishing stories. Jack currently resides in San Diego.
