Three Herb Connolly Dealerships in Massachusetts Sold to Florida Based LLC

Herb Connolly Dealerships History Started in 1918

A Florida-based company has acquired three auto dealerships in Framingham, Massachusetts. The dealerships, which were part of the Connolly Auto Group, include Metrowest Hyundai, Metrowest Acura, and Genesis of Framingham.

The sale of the dealerships was approved by the Framingham License Commission, and the transaction has closed. All three dealership websites have been updated to reflect the new ownership.

While the ownership of the dealerships is changing, they will remain open in the same locations. The Connolly Auto Group will continue to own the Herb Connolly Chevrolet of Framingham, located at 350 Worcester Road.

Herb Connolly Auto Group is one of the oldest continuously family-owned automobile dealerships in the country. It was established as a new car dealership when Herb Connolly, Sr. sold his first new car in 1918. After his unexpected death, his son, Herb Connolly, Jr., took over in 1940 and ran the dealership for 55 years, in Boston and Framingham, until his death in 1995. Today, his grandsons Adam and Christopher Connolly, Jr., along with their brothers Doug and Brendan, operate the three dealerships.

The Acura dealership opened in 1988, and the Hyundai dealership opened in 2010. The new owners, HNTT LLC, ACTT LLC, and GNTT LLC, are based in West Palm Beach, Florida.
