Monaco Ford Celebrating Its 100th Anniversary

A century of business history in Glastonbury is being recognized.

Join us for the celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Monaco Ford! The event will take place on Saturday, September 24th from 12 PM- 5 PM at the Monaco Ford dealership. Located at 767 New London Turnpike Glastonbury, CT 06033.

Monaco Ford opened its doors in 1922 as Monaco's Garage and since then has been owned and operated by four generations of the Monaco family. It all started with Peter Monaco, then passed along to Peter's sons Albie, Billy, Charlie, Johnny, & Sonny, who were all actively involved, officially becoming a Ford Dealership in 1957. In 1972, Charlie's son, David Monaco, became involved in the business full-time and was named president of the company in 1988 putting Monaco Ford on the map as a top-level Ford Dealership in New England. Now, almost 100 years since its opening, Monaco Ford is co-owned by its fourth generation, siblings Chrissy and Mike Monaco. ⁠
