SCHENECTADY  Leave it to Billy Fuccillo to
compare Schenectady to a car brand. Fuccillo, the
ubiquitous owner of Fuccillo Automotive Group and
star of TV commercials, was at the Rivers Casino
Resort to film new spots  and receive the key
to the city from Mayor Gary McCarthy. In
accepting the honor, Fuccillo compared
Schenectady's progress in recent years with the
progress of the car brand Kia.   He recalled Kia
franchises going from "really bad" 20 years ago
to now "No. 1 in initial quality over all
franchises" over the last two years. "It
reminded me a lot of Schenectady when I came
through Schenectady today," Billy Fuccillo said,
adding his trademark phrase. "You're making a
HUGE comeback."

McCarthy handed Billy Fuccillo the key to the
city in a brief ceremony, citing Fuccillo's
employment and charity work. (The plaque included
a large, ceremonial key, not, say, a smaller or
equal-in-size car key or fob.) Speaking to
reporters afterward, he also spoke of building
work expected in the coming three years at his
three Schenectady-area dealerships down Route 5
 Kia, Hyundai and Volkswagen.  He said he
intends to invest likely in excess of 20 million
over in that time to rebuild and expand the
dealerships, increasing his workforce at the
three from about 200 to close to 300.

"I really appreciate this award and I'm really
proud of the people that have not only come into
my dealerships and purchased cars, but I'm really
proud of the way the community here is coming
back," Billy Fuccillo said. "It's just
unbelievable." He then made sure to get in one
more reference to his very large trademark
phrase, saying if he was to phrase it in one
word, it would be that.  Reference
