As I just wrote to Douglas, I think DW is the local name for a group of 
dealerships owned by Hendrix Motor Sports, including Volvo, Honda and 
Subaru, possibly GMC.  He is the face of their advertising, but over 
many years, I've never encountered him at a dealership.  His down-home 
persona draws in customers.
