Dear classic car enthusiast, The year 2009 has kicked off very well. The last three weeks we sold quite a lot classics in the higher price range and more sales are pending.

*InterClassics/Topmobiel 2009*
On January 9, 10 and 11 the InterClassic/Topmobiel show was held in Maastricht, The Netherlands. On the show very beautiful classics could be admired and bought. We were less enthusiast about the TopMobiel part. The collection American classics on show was below par in our opinion. We did not see the makes Duesenberg and Cord presented, beautiful convertibles from the fifties and sixties were absent as were early Chevrolet Corvettes! All the last mentioned 'America's greatest' are on show and for sale in the ClassicarGarage *sales collection*! The ClassicarGarages Altena Classic Service, Lex Classics and Smiths-Veglia participated at the InterClassics, hereby photo's of their presentations.
