    John Weinberger

    Founder 1932-2020

    John F. Weinberger of Naperville, Illinois and Austin, Texas, peacefully passed away September 12, 2020 at his home in Austin at the age of 88 surrounded by friends and family. John was born in Illinois on April 18, 1932 in the backseat of a ’32 Chevrolet, which early on set the stage for his lifelong passion for cars. John was the consummate car, racing, and driving fanatic with a special aura felt by all who knew him. John’s car passion also charted the course of his career path, as he progressed from his humble beginnings as an apprentice garage mechanic to becoming the founder and CEO of one of the largest privately held companies in the Chicagoland area and one of the Top 150 dealership groups in the nation. John was also very dedicated to the retail automobile industry, having served several terms as a respected board member of the Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA), the Illinois Automobile Trade Association (IADA), and the American Import Auto Dealers Association (AIADA).

    John’s passion for cars continues to inspire the Continental Team on a daily basis!

    I have been a proud second-generation multi-franchise auto dealer for 30+ years. I recently made the decision to divest of my other brands and focus all of my efforts on this magnificent world of Ferrari. My father became a Ferrari dealer in 1975, and I am honored and excited to build upon the legacy he left behind. I am a huge motorsports enthusiast, attending many F1 and other professional races and driving many different race cars over the past decades. Most recently, I have competed for four seasons in the Ferrari Challenge North American Series, piloting the latest 488 Challenge car. I love the meaningful relationships that we continue to build with our Ferrari clients, because we share the same passion for enjoying life with these wonderful cars.

    After earning my Bachelor of Business Administration from Loyola University Chicago, I started my career with the Chicago Tribune Media Group. After becoming a team leader in online advertising sales, the automotive industry called my name and I started my first management role at an Automotive group in Joliet. I’ve held a number of roles from BDC/Internet manager to General sales manager. However, my current role as the Pre-Owned Ferrari Sales Manager here at Continental Autosports is the most rewarding and fun so far. With over 10 years in the automotive industry, I’m elated to work with the best clients and cars in the world. I’ll see you soon in the store or at our numerous Ferrari events!
