TORRANCE, Calif. – Bobit’s Dealer Group is excited to announce a new initiative it believes will become an automotive industry mainstay when it comes to recognizing the people who’ve made lasting impacts on such a dynamic sector.

The F&I Hall of Fame will be annually filled with the names of industry trailblazers who are believed to standout through their examples of professionalism, innovation and leadership.

“Almost a year ago on a call with David, I made mention that it seems we are one of the few that does not recognize the pillars of our industry,” said Tony Wanderon, CEO of APCO Holdings, in explaining how the hall of fame concept developed. “Today, we are changing that, and I am honored to be heading the F&I Hall of Fame selection committee. This is long overdue and will allow us to recognize those who have changed the game by their innovation, ethical leadership, and unwavering commitment to our industry.”

Dealer Group President David Gesualdo said Wanderon is the perfect person to lead the new effort.

“Tony presented me with the idea to do an F&I hall of fame, and I thought it was a fantastic idea,” he said. “So, as we moved forward with the process, I thought he would be the perfect person to chair the committee. We are proud to say he accepted.”

The industry as a whole is encouraged to nominate individuals they believe belong in the F&I Hall of Fame.
