George Selover

George Selover is described as being a Billings leader who got things done. Not only is his career noted for his business savvy and success, he is a philanthropist and active community supporter.

Selover moved to Billings in 1955 to run his father-in-law’s Buick franchise. When he bought the dealership in 1965 and renamed it Selover Buick, he focused on expansion. Adding additional franchises, like Honda, Mercedes Benz, and Hyundai to the business, Selover Buick grew to include more than 50 employees, and new buildings under his leadership. The dealership was, once again, passed down in the family when Selover’s daughter and her husband, Mary and Bill Underriner, purchased the business from him in 2001.

The list of Selover’s accomplishments and contributions to Billings and Montana is lengthy. He has been involved with the Billings Jaycees, YMCA and the Downtown Billings Rotary Club, served on boards of trustees for Rocky Mountain College and the Billings Clinic Foundation, and even coached little guy football. Recipient of the Phillip F. Fortin Philanthropist of the Year Award, Selover is also recognized for his philanthropic support of organizations like Montana State University Billings, Billings Public Library, and the American Cancer Society, among others.
