Meet Bill Wallace

Bill Wallace was born to be in the automobile business. His initiation was washing cars and changing tires as a teenager. It turned out to be a business that he loved. Bill worked his way up to the presidency of Wallace Ford in Delray Beach. During the 70’s and 80’s he acquired six more franchises, both domestic and imports, which was cutting edge at the time. He built this group into one of the 100 top Mega-Dealers in the country.

Bill sold the Wallace Group to AutoNation in 1997. After a brief 18 months of working in the Mergers and Acquisition at this public company he became restless to get back on his own. Due to a noncompete agreement the closest business opportunity lay fifty miles north in Stuart, Florida. Over the next two decades Wallace acquired 11 new franchises. The current group is now back to being one of the top 100 privately owned dealership groups in the U.S.
