Default Country Classic Cars burns to the ground

Hundreds of classic cars were lost in a huge fire at Country Classic Cars in Staunton, IL tonight. Last I heard it was a 7 alarm fire. I have been there several times and a tragic loss.

Sad, indeed.....been there a couple times myself, many years ago. Most of their inventory was what you might term 'entry level' material, but they did have some nicer stuff, too.

Unhappy Fire...

Karen and I visited there a number of years ago with Wayne Bushey...they had a lot of cars. Hope there were no injuries...
