Ernie Boch

Ernie inherited the business and the catch phrase "Come on down!" from his father, Ernie Boch, Sr.

Ernie is largely credited with bringing the "Automile" concept to Rt 1, Norwood. With this concept, a large cluster of competing automobile dealerships join together to publicize the "Automile" as an automobile shopping center.

Trivia

Ernie's first car was a 1971 Volkswagen Beetle, British racing green. He bought it in 1974, when he was 16, from the used-car department at his family's Toyota dealership. He wrote an op-ed piece about this car in the Boston Globe. [ [http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2006/01/29/ernie_boch_jr/ Ernie Boch Jr.] ]
