About Us

While growing up in Europe as a kid in the 1950’s , my toys were all Dinkey toys and I already had a taste for American cars.

My favorite toy was a turquoise and cream 1960 Chevy El Camino.I once traded it with my neighbor’s son with his Dinkey Rolls Royce Silver Cloud.I thought it was a great deal , but his father did’nt think so , so we swapped back.I think that was my first car deal and I still have the El Camino ; orig. owner , orig. paint ! In my teens I drove big finned Chryslers while living in Canada and when back in Holland in the 1970’s, I started peddling U.S. cars on the side like Lincoln Mark IV’s, Chevy Blazer’s etc.By 1979, I exported my first cars from the US to Europe and started going back & forth, selling most before they even hit the port of Rotterdam.

I eventually formed my dealership in ft.Lauderdale, started buying & selling in the U.S. as well as abroad and built up a excellent worldwide reputation for being a straight up, honest businessman while making a lot of new friends. Retired in 2016, but “ having cars in my blood”and clients still calling me, I still broker some here and there or act as a consultant.

Feel free to ask my assistance regarding selling or purchasing your rolling work of art !
