As owner of the largest auto dealer network in New York and builder of some of the world’s biggest and most beautiful yachts, John Staluppi should take the next logical step and purchase an airline. The Staluppi dealerships are the model of efficiency, making this organization the most dominant dealer network on Long Island by a mile. Perhaps that’s why it is better known as New York Auto Giant. While the auto industry continues to fluctuate and empty dealerships dot the Long Island landscape, Staluppi continues to construct, innovate, hire and grow. But it’s more than dollars and cents that fuel his engine as Staluppi’s charitable work illustrates how big this auto giant’s heart truly is.
