Wiki


Herb Chambers (Herbert G. Chambers) is owner and CEO of Herb Chambers Companies, a group of 46[1] car dealerships in the greater Boston MA area. A directory of Herb Chambers Car Dealerships lists their OEM brand portfolio in Massachusetts and New England.


Herb Chambers was born in Dorchester, Massachusetts and attended English High School of Boston. After completing his high school education, Herb Chambers then served four years in the United States Navy, acquiring rank E-5.

After getting out of the Navy, Chambers began working as a copy machine repairman in Cambridge, Massachusetts. By the time he was 22, he started his own copier distribution company that he eventually sold for $80 million.[2]

Chambers started a business with borrowed money from his parents. He fixed copy machines door-to-door.

Herb Chambers started his automotive business after purchasing a Cadillac dealership in New London, Connecticut, in 1985. His decision to purchase the business was based on his own poor buying experience at the dealership.[3] As Herb Chambers improved the operations of this first car dealership, he started the Herb Chambers Companies.

Herb Chambers currently lives in Old Lyme, Connecticut and Boston, and also has an exotic car collection.
[edit] Exotic Car Collector

In 2007, The Boston Globe featured an article and photo gallery highlighting Herb Chambers' car collection. Chambers' collection of rare automobiles includes the McLaren F1, Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, Ferrari Daytona Spyder, Ferrari Daytona Coupe, 2006 Ford GT, Porsche 959 Supercar, 2006 Porsche GT, Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible, Ford Model B (1932) and a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL that was raced in the 1983 Cannonball Run.[4]
