Kerbeck Corvette, the world’s largest Corvette franchise, has been sold to Pennsylvania-based dealer group Ciocca Dealerships.
Located in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Kerbeck Corvette has been the largest dedicated Corvette dealership for the past 27 years. Ciocca Dealerships purchased the storefront this week, along with the adjacent Kerbeck Chevrolet Buick GMC and Kerbeck Cadillac storefronts that sit on the same plot of land on Atlantic City’s south side.
“We are very pleased to announce the company’s expansion into the Atlantic City market,” Ciocca CEO and founder Gregg Ciocca said in a prepared statement. “Everyone is excited to become involved in the community and meet our new customers and team members in Atlantic City. The energy and growth in this area made this an exciting opportunity to add to our family of dealerships.”
Kerbeck Corvette will be renamed Ciocca Corvette following the acquisition. While the name is set to change, Ciocca says the same team of sales experts will continue to represent the dealership going forward.
According to data compiled by Corvette Blogger, Kerbeck Corvette sold 866 examples of the Chevy Corvette in 2020 – making it the largest Corvette dealer by sales volume on the planet. Mac Mulkin Chevrolet Cadillac in Nashua, New Hampshire was second at 778 units, followed by Les Stanford Chevrolet Cadillac in Dearborn, Michigan at 321 units.
Ciocca Dealerships’ purchase of a dedicated Corvette storefront comes amid high demand for the American sports car. GM sold out of its 2021 model year run of the C8 Corvette Stingray and decided to switch to production of the 2022 Corvette early to help better deal with demand. However production setbacks brought on by complications from the COVID-19 pandemic have also caused inventory shortages at dealerships – a problem that GM hopes to address as the effects of the pandemic wane in the coming months.

Looking at the pictures, that looks like an awful lot of inventory for only selling 866. Looks like at least 2 months of supply.
2 months is the ideal number
Every car in the showroom is a sold order, not inventory.
i thought EVs were supposed to decimate dealerships.
I’ve got a deposit at Kerbeck and MacMulkin, whoever calls 1st, I’m ordering my C8.
A city known for gambling and strippers has the largest Vette dealer??, who knew?.🙃🙂🙃
atlantic city is also known for failed casino owners.
Trump 2024
Right—if he and his moronic sons, ‘Beavis and Butthead,’ aren’t already in prison.
Unlike stupid, clueless Biden who doesn’t know what day it is and his crooked druggie son!
…who beat dumbass trump in the election by a landslide!
Just LMAO @ trump and his two idiot kids.
i thought it was august 2021
Hey Guestt, the people of South Jersey love talking about a-holes that spout stereotypes about our beautiful state like you ! These are the the same people that only have driven down the Nj turnpike and assume that’s what Nj looks like. We have the most beautiful forests, beaches, farms and mountains. By the way,A.C. cleaaned up the prostitutes 20 years ago.Keep driving through! Please don’t stop.
But they still have the most car break-ins along the road with the new strip of stores
Other than than the toxic waste/Superfund sites, open air drugs markets with corrupt cops and judges, mafia ties, Jersey Shore and mean people yea there’s some bright side to NJ. BTW suntan grease isn’t a substitute for Vette motor oil …..
Good to know AC now has “clean” prostitutes. lol
Who knew 2 best selling Corvette dealers were in the northeast?
NJ is very nice. Gets a bad rap.
They had owned the Waldorf EX 122 Corvette the very first Corvette ever built. I wonder if it went in the deal or not.
Love AC….vacation there every summer!!
NJ, love it!!
Man, I literally just read this article. I loved Kerbeck, they always had the Saturday morning infomercial, it was a massive dealership complex….this hits hard.
Hey C8.R,,,,,i dought it. i heard Gm wanted the car back to put in museum and offered george 1 million and he turned it down.I also heard george had a mold made just so he could have the original tires that that car came with…
those info mercials were the best, car dealers today are screwing the public with above list prices thanks to the chinese pandemic, Americans will never know for sure about the virus, too many wash. politicians are in bed with china for self elitism. I guess it’s time to buy a kia and enjoy the 5 year bumper to bumper warranty and the 10 year power train for free with purchase and i own 3 american cqrs, maybe never again. the world changes, this old bird as president has America sinking to an all time low. Time for new old fashioned American values to bring the country back.
Sad that the boys got in over their heads during the pandemic. They panicked and got out before it cost them a fortune Ciocca will never make it. In AC. And as a former employee im sad to see the turnover. As I drove past where Georges house used to be at 21st street and Wesley ave in Ocean City. The beautiful house is gone now leaving me in awe
Very sad that the boys panicked when the pandemic hit and sold to Ciocca. They will never make it. The Kerbeck brothers made the place happen. As a former employee and friend i wish them well and hope they mosey off into the sunset still owning palmyra. Drove past Georges house today in Ocean City only to find a dirt lot where the beautiful beach front single sat. Sad
