When talking about Chevrolet in the Tulsa area, the name Danny Beck is sure to come up. Danny owned Danny Beck Chevrolet before selling the dealership and semi-retiring after more than 35 years in the industry (he still worked some on the commercial side of things for a time). Many people know his name and remember hearing “Hello, friends,” at the beginning of his commercials. It was the end of an era when he hung up his hat.
A new era has begun! 
We are happy to have Danny Beck joining our commercial sales team. He brings a wellspring of knowledge that we are pleased to have with us. We asked Danny some questions about what he’s been up to since retiring and what he’s looking forward to in the future.
How have you been spending your time since “semi-retiring”?
I have traveled to several places since I retired, visited old friends and tried a lot of new restaurants.
Did you ever think you’d come back to the car industry full-time, and what made you want to come back?
I had always thought that I would never quit selling cars but decided to try it. I did not like sitting around and missed seeing my friends and selling them vehicles.
What are the biggest changes you’ve seen with the car business over the years?
The biggest changes in the car business have been with the Internet, buying services, and increasing stiff competition.
What about Jim Norton was appealing to you as far as dealerships go?
I have known Jim Norton for many years and am very particular with whom I associate with! I know that this is a quality dealership with quality employees and customers do matter.
What do you look forward to most here at Jim Norton Chevrolet?
I am excited to enjoy the fellowship with my fellow employees, many of whom I have known for years, visit with my customers, and sell a lot of vehicles. The potential for growth is phenomenal here and I look forward to helping make Jim Norton #1 EVERY month!!
Danny’s positivity and smile are infectious. You can’t help but be happy when he’s around. He is also a truly caring person who wants to help others in every way he can. Having him join our team here was a no brainer. Danny Beck makes everywhere he goes, a better place. So come down and say “Hello, friends,” to Danny and the rest of the team at Jim Norton Chevrolet and Jim Norton Commercial Service Center.
