B
orn in 1957, a time considered by many to be the
Golden Era of automobiles, my father always had an
appreciation for cars and has owned many. Being exposed
to the hobby as a child sparked that interest and fast
forward we translated our love of classic cars into a niche
business here in the NY Capital Region over 6 years ago.
Some car enthusiasts have an allegiance to a particular
brand like a Chevy, Ford or Dodge, and remain “loyal”
to that brand. Others go beyond appreciation for
American made automobiles, and have come to love
the European cars as well. Vintage Mercedes, Jaguars,
Porsches, Land Rovers and the like. They are well built,
most far superior to American products of the same
period, and are timeless classics. We love them all!
