The owner of Golden Classics, I read in the StPeteTimes btw, is retiring after 27yrs in business to a million-dollar estate with a 30 car garage. If one was in the business through the early 90s, and today, there's gold in them thar old cars. As a buyer I've never bought from a "classic car" dealer but I have bought "blind" many times, the last 3 were all via newsgroups on the Internet and still have all 3 including my Imperial which I couldn't be happier with. The story is here: http://www.imperialclub.com/YearbyYear/1955/deCarteret/ but in brief ... a local club member took on helping the widow sell her husbands '55, it's a really nice running car that was fairly represented and I'm looking forward to springtime!
