Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ron Tonkin Dealerships Sold to Gee Automotive

[Hans E. Hansen (FList]

Just bought a used car from Tonkin a few weeks ago.

My father was good friends with Ron, they were both entering the car business at about the same time and would go to Chevrolet meetings together.

I did know Ron a bit, but not his sons.

Hans.

US's oldest Ferrari dealership remains in family ownership, other dealerships sold ...

With the two groups selling a combined 38,771 vehicles in 2015, the acquisition creates one of the nation’s Top 50 dealer groups and the one of the largest dealer groups on the West Coast. The Tonkin name will remain on all of the group's dealerships, and its brand will continue to grow and expand in the Portland area, officials said.

A spokesperson for Gee Automotive said the Tonkins will retain their Ferrari and Maserati dealership. The location was the first U.S.-based Ferrari dealership when the Tonkins opened its doors in 1966.
