Owner
While attending Villanova University in 1974, Ed began working for Tully Chrysler Plymouth. He worked during the summer and school breaks. His father was a non-participating investor in the dealership. In 1975 the business began experiencing financial difficulty and Ed's father contacted him at school to ask if he had an interest in the automobile business as a career. His father had no intention of becoming involved as he was in the food business, but offered to support Ed's effort if he wanted to learn to operate the dealership. In 1976, he came home on weekends to work at the dealership, and during the week attended any available Chrysler training that his schedule allowed. Graduating in 1976, Ed began his career at Rossi Chrysler Plymouth. Ed operated the business successfully, was offered the Pontiac Buick GMC Franchise and became a GM dealer in 1982. Ed purchased the Chevy Olds franchise in Belvidere, NJ in 1986 and the Chevy Olds franchise in Washington, NJ in 1992 and consolidated all the GM franchises to one location in Washington in 1999. In 2006 Rossi Chevrolet Buick GMC moved to its new location, 360 Route 31 South, where it operates today. Ed and Patti Sue Rossi have been married since 1977 and have 4 children ages 38-25, and two grandchildren. Patti Sue and son Michael work in the dealership with Ed.
