Massachusetts born and Boston based billionaire businessman Herb Chambers loves fast cars and mammoth yachts. He made his fortune after leaving the United States Navy to set up a firm fixing copy machines door-to-door named A-Copy America and eventually sold out for some $80 million. After having a bad experience whilst trying to buy a Cadillac, he bought the dealership and now has a portfolio of 55 car showrooms in the Boston area. Chambers’ personal collection includes a 1973 Ferrari Daytona Spyder convertible and a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL.
