    This past weekend they had a car show and opened the collection for viewing. All proceeds went to Hospice. The owner John Staluppi only opens it for fund raisers. If you are ever in West Palm around the middle of March watch for the date.
    Almost all the cars displayed are convertibles. Only a few hardtops other than the trucks. The theme of the whole place is NYC and Coney Island.
    He apparently was buying alot of cars at the last Barret Jackson, and 140 of the cars in the museum will be on the block at the April Barret Jackson in West Palm. I expect to see a totally different set of cars next year.
    One car that jumped out at me was a 61 Impala Conv SS 4 speed with a 409. One of the few that were produced.
    As for Buicks, They were all 50s and early 60's, including a 53 Skylark.

    Here's a link to the site. Lots of pics.

    John Staluppi, what a character, in a good way. Very respectful around women. But if there isn't any women in the room, look out!
    His stories are killer.
    Have done work for him in the past...

    That guy practically takes over every Barret Jackson on TV - almost irritatingly so. He overpays for damn near everything. too. I'd be surprised if he breaks even on the ones he is selling.
