Dealership History

History of Curry Automotive

Our history covers over ninety years of continued

growth, progress, and service to many communities.


  In 1919, B.F. Curry, Sr. founded our first automobile dealership in New York City. Under his guidance, this pioneer organization became one of the largest Chevrolet sales and service centers in the world. Shortly after World War II, Curry Automotive investigated an entirely different concept of vehicle merchandising.

  In 1947, The Curry Corporation was founded for the purpose of leasing motor vehicles under long term agreements. Leasing, until this time a novelty, steadily drew public and commercial acceptance. Over the years and across the nation, tens of thousands of cars have been leased through Curry. Located in Scarsdale, New York; Curry has subsequently became headquarters for Curry Automotive.

  In 1956, another dealership was constructed and opened. Our Chevrolet dealership, located in Scarsdale, New York; has ranked as one of the most outstanding Chevrolet sales and service centers in Westchester county and New York State.

  A year after the acquisition of a motorcycle franchise in 1975, another dealership was opened in Yorktown to meet the ever-increasing demand for import cars. The enterprise enjoyed immediate success and has become a major Honda dealership.

  In 1980, another major dealership facility was opened in Scarsdale, New York. For years, Scarsdale Dodge was one of the largest automotive dealerships in the New York Zone.

  In 1982, an expansive Honda sales and service center was opened in Chamblee, Georgia; a northern suburb of Atlanta. Our Honda dealership is now one of the largest and most successful Honda dealerships in the Southeast United States.

  In 1988, the Dodge franchise was then terminated. The facility was totally renovated and re-opened as Curry Acura. This has become one of the most premier Acura dealerships in New York State. Curry Acura now ranks within the top ten Acura dealerships of the entire country for Acura sales.

  In 1998, an exciting opportunity in Chicopee, Massachusetts became a welcome addition to the family of dealerships. This Honda dealership is destined to be a leader in western Massachusetts.

  In April 2007, Curry acquired the Geis Auto Mall. By adding Toyota, Hyundai, and Nissan, Curry became the largest automotive dealer group in the Hudson Valley Region.
 
  In early 2009, Curry Subaru was moved from RT 202 to Courtlandt Blvd (RT 6).

  In fall 2009, Curry Nissan relocated to RT 202, in Yorktown, to a completely renovated Nissan Image facility.

 In December of 2010 Curry acquired a second Nissan dealership and has relocated it to Memorial Drive in Chicopee, Massachusetts.

  By spring of 2011, we will start constructing a brand new state of the art Subaru - Hyundai facility. Construction plans include building a LEED certified building, which will make it the first green dealership in the area!

CURRY AUTOMOTIVE SUPPORTS CAMPAIGN TO
BUILD MUSEUM FOR CHILDREN IN WESTCHESTER

Local Auto Dealer Devises Creative Fund raising Program to Benefit Westchester Children's Museum.




Bernard F. Curry III, CEO/owner, of Curry Automotive, together with Melissa Schoen,
President of the Westchester Children's Museum, announced today an unprecedented fundraising
partnership in which the Curry Auto Group will donate $50 for every car sold or leased at its
Westchester dealerships during the months of June and July, to the campaign to build a museum
for children in Westchester. The fundraising program officially launches on June 1, and
concludes on July 31, 2005. Curry has dealerships in Scarsdale and Yorktown Heights.

"Curry Automotive has been part of Westchester County since 1921, and my own family
has a history here that dates even further back. I believe that the value that a museum for children
can bring to Westchester County cannot be underscored, in terms of economic, social, and
educational impact," states Bernard F. Curry III. "I couldn't be more delighted to put the
Curry Automotive name behind this endeavor, and I hope that it will encourage other local Westchester
retailers, banks, developers, and businesses to find creative ways in which to give their support."
