Bill Stewart

- The founder of Ferrari of Denver, 35+ years and counting!

Bill has always had a passion for exotic cars, especially Rolls Royce, Bentley and Ferrari. One of his first jobs as an adult was working as a Rolls Royce mechanic. He moved to Denver in 1969 to work for Kumpf Motors, the Rolls Royce dealer at the time. He started his own service business in 1974, focusing on everything exotic. His first factory service franchise was Rolls Royce. The Rolls Royce franchise grew into a successful sales operation and in 1979 he acquired Maserati, Lotus and then the Alfa Romeo franchise, since he has added Ferrari and Bentley to this world class lineup. He built a new dealership at 1480 East County Line Road in Highlands Ranch, Colorado and moved into his first class facility in December 2001. Bill has been fortunate to have many loyal staff members train with him and remain with him for years, even several decades and it’s because he runs a great shop with a heart for excellent service. Bill is extremely dedicated to making his entire team feel that they are each the most important member of the team. He never uses the word “no.” Family life for Bill includes two kids and two grandkids. He loves taking them all for rides in his fun cars!
