Curry Automotive has purchased a $4 million property in Danbury’s automotive corridor to open the tri-state’s only Ineos Grenadier dealership. The rugged off-road vehicles will have a new showroom and service garage next to the recently opened Mercedes-Benz dealership. Curry executives highlighted that the Grenadier isn’t a daily driver, with most owners logging just 3,000 to 4,000 miles a year. The dealership will bring about 300 car trips to the area. The project is part of the city’s growing hub for high-end automotive brands along Miry Brook Road.
Ed Histed
Ed launched his radio career in 1975 and has spent more than five decades in the broadcasting industry. During that time, he has served in a wide range of roles including Air Personality, News Director, Sales Manager, Operations Manager, and General Manager at numerous radio stations in various markets across the country. Beyond on-air and management responsibilities, Ed has also worked extensively on the technical side of broadcasting. His background includes RF engineering and information technology, with particular experience configuring digital automation systems and remote voice-tracking platforms used by stations across the country. Ed was also among a select group of industry professionals invited by Google to its California headquarters following the company’s acquisition of Scott Studios. He was one of just 12 broadcasters nationwide chosen to participate in discussions and provide input during the design and rollout of Google’s digital broadcast automation platform. Although the majority of Ed’s career—spanning roughly four decades—was rooted in music radio, he transitioned into news and information programming in 2012. He says the move into spoken-word broadcasting was a natural evolution after decades of experience in multiple areas of the industry.
