Guy with 3 million Dollar Olds
 

Does any body remember the guy at this years Barrett-Jackson?
He is the guy that paid 3 million dollars for a 1954 Olds F-88 one of one car
Well I picked up my local newspaper and there he is. His name is Alan Lewenthal.
The car was bought for John S Hendricks for the gate way auto museum in Colorado
John Hendricks Then got together With Alan and decided to open up there own restoration shop
Called Marquis auto restorations here in NE/Philly about 4 miles from me. Hendricks is also talking to the discovery channel to do a show back up with Orange County Choppers.( This will be interesting)
Then Today I get a phone call from our club president call and said do I know this guy and were the shop is at. I was not at the last meeting but there was a guy named Jim Keegan that is suppose to be a Corvette guru at our club meeting talking about there restorations shop I do not know or have heard of Jim Keegan. Any way me and Jerry are going in the next week or two to check this guy out
Here is his web site http://www.marquisautorestorations.com/

Form what I have heard that car did not need to be restored
This is the Ferrari dude .looked at the tape last night and it is the same guy that bought the olds and bought the Ferraris too
