Our Automobiles
Our first restoration, a 1956 Imperial that was the same model and
color of the first car Prince Reiner of Monaco purchased for
Princess Grace. We would eventually sell the Imperial to a retired
Chicago detective and friend of the late actor Dennis Farina.
The Imperial was also going to be used on Dennis Farina's then
Detective show Crime Story. However, the show was unfortunately
canceled. Nevertheless, he said the Imperial had
caused a traffic jam when he parked it close to Lakeshore
Drive, later asked to park it further back and out of site of
onlookers. He thanked us again. |

At another time, a small child with a
pacifier was reaching out from the sidewalk of a city street. He was
opening and shutting his hands as though he wanted to pick up the
car and play with it. |
