History of LFSC

The success of Lake Forest Sportscars lays not only in the quality of its facility or the DNA of its vehicles, but with the people who stand behind it - The Mancuso family.

In 1923 Rick Mancuso's grandfather, Benjamin, opened a showroom selling new cars in Batavia, New York. A new chapter started when Rick Mancuso's father, Jim Mancuso, moved to Chicago in 1953 and shortly thereafter opened Mancuso Chevrolet in north suburban Chicago. 

The legacy continued when Rick Mancuso decided to branch off from his fathers' Chevrolet dealership in 1981 and on his own start what is now Lake Forest Sportscars.  Rick built LFSC from the ground up, the business had its start in a small but charming storefront in downtown Lake Forest and eventual grew into a 70,000 sq ft facility which now carries 5 brands, Ferrari, Maserati, Aston Martin, Lotus and McLaren. 

Now it is the fourth generation of Mancuso's (Rick's two sons Adam and Nick as well daughter Cassie) who are carrying on the family tradition of selling quality ultra high end automotive products, while continuing to remain intouch with Rick's passion for Motorsports.

2012 marks the 31st year of Lake Forest Sportscars and we look forward to another 3 decades success in serving our deeply valued clients!
