It all started with seven cars and a hunch
 One man’s vision is how the Enterprise story begins. Back in 1957, a
decorated WWII Hellcat pilot returned home after serving over the skies
of the South Pacific. This man, a true innovator named Jack Taylor, had a
steadfast dedication to his country, his family and the dream of starting a
business.
 Utilizing lessons learned in the Navy—including the value of hard work,
team spirit and simply doing the right thing—Jack embraced the novel
concept of leasing automobiles, with a fleet of seven cars.
