ClassicarGarage Newsletter 17, June 5 2008

Dear classic car enthusiast,

In this newsletter we will bring you back in time to the amazing sixties in America. A decade of limitless possibilities and borderless dreams. Lazy afternoons in the sun, surfing and flirting with the most beautiful girls. Cruising Sunset Boulevard with a nice set of wheels, the Beach boys singing California girls on the 8-track player, life is good! These images are flashing through my mind looking at our collection of 1950'ies and 1960'ies American top classics. Today we present you six new arrived 'America's greatest' and a selection of other US collector items from our sales collection. All these fine automobiles are for sale at Amicale Facel Holland. The presented cars come from one of the biggest US car collections in Europe. We are proud to announce that we have not found a larger sales collection of scarce and top class American classics anywhere in the world... 

Sincerely,
Marc Vorgers.
