I started at the age of 18 with a 1960 Fleetwood, 4 more followed and now we have this 1948 Pontiac. I love it!<br /><br />California Classics is a company in the Netherlands. The guy buys his cars in Arizona where he has a house. So California is only a part of the name.<br /><br />Europe has a lot of US cars, especially Sweden and England. But in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium are a lot of them too. We go to many events to see them. <br /><br />Greetings from the Netherlands,<br /><br />ArjanArjan Massarhttp://vintageflathead.nlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7847382031474642320.post-27376603803514203692014-06-29T15:09:28.917-07:002014-06-29T15:09:28.917-07:00I looked at your website.

It looks like you've owned quite a few classic cars. When I looked through your gallery I wondered where was this "California Classics" place you purchased many of them from? There was a dealership in my area that called itself Kassabian's California Classics for years, but has relocated and renamed itself My Hot Cars. Now I see that your California Classics is a place in the Netherlands that imports cars from my state to sell in Europe. Interesting. I know that big old American cars have a pretty strong following in certain areas of the continent.

Both had 2 and 4 door sedan models, the Torpedo had the Convertible and the Streamliner had the woodie wagon. The difference between them was the wheelbase. The Streamliner being the longer one. There was a base trim and a DeLuxe trim. DeLuxe meant full hubcaps (dog dish with additional beauty ring), chrome trim on the fender and door, luxurious steering wheel and some other parts. <br /><br />You can (if you'd like) look at mine at vintageflathead.nlArjan Massarhttp://vintageflathead.nlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7847382031474642320.post-83464137169078820862014-03-29T05:29:19.559-07:002014-03-29T05:29:19.559-07:00:O Stunning, :O Stunning, jsfuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05376420982509061892noreply@blogger.com
