When you say shops, do you mean for repairs or for looking at ?

Up here in Vero Beach there is the:

I've been restoring classic cars for 40 years(vintage raced for 35 years) and I am always looking for cars for sale or shops that are working on neat projects and cars. I do not have a car hear in FL. So I do not work on anything hear.
Maybe this will help you understand what I am looking for. I do know of a few shop and classic dealerships, but I just thought I would check on what else is out there.
thanks Jim

I keep trying to get to Gunnar Racing when I am down there but never seem to find the time.  They have a "museum".

Pierre Hedary is in Titusville. He no longer has his address on the website for security. http://www.pierrehedaryandco.com/

But he is located at  424 S Deleon Ave, Titusville, FL 32796.

Was planning on taking my car to him in the late spring to drop off for some work.

Sidney Vallon at Palm Beach Classics is quite hospitable and always has a few project cars he's working on and/or for sale. He's probably the type of guy that you might have interest in visiting. I stopped with a buddy of mine a few weeks ago and he seemed happy to show us around...most likely in the event that one of us might be a customer or at least a referral some day.

Most of the car shows here (there are plenty of them)  feature mostly American muscle cars with Beach Boys music playing in the background...not a bad thing but not exactly what you are looking for.  My brother and I go from time to time.

PM me and I'll pass along any additional info that I have.

You may want to go over to the Palm Beach Outlet Mall (at I-95 and Palm Beach Lakes Blvd) for the "Cars and Coffee" events that they hold once a month on Sunday mornings.  Here are the next dates: February 10th; March 10th; April 7th.   I believe that it is free to attend, and they have food trucks selling coffee and breakfast foods.

They have a website:  https://www.carsandcoffeepb.com/



I concur that Palm Beach Classics is a nice place to stop by and see some 280 SLs that are for sale or being worked on.
