This is another one of those fabulous cars that is owned by a good friend of mine, John Staluppi. John owns  multiple franchised new car dealerships and is very well respected in the industry. 

He is also known world wide for some of the incredible "Mega Super Yachts he has owned or built over the past several years.

A few of these famous Mega yachts are  "Octopussy",  "The World Is Not Enough" and his latest creation, the 163' "Casino Royal" 

John is a very serious car collector and aficionado and is extremely passionate about his love for vintage cars and only owns and collects the best of the best.

This spectacular car and many, many others, are on display in his "Cars Of Dreams" museum located in downtown North Palm Beach. The museum has been recognized as one of the finest of it's type in  the world.

The Museum is a recreation of a typical small American city as it existed in the fabulous 1950's. Contained in a magnificent 100,000 sq. foot facility, his car collection is featured in a small town with sidewalks, streets, curbs, parking meters, several typical stores from the 1950's along with a working Drive-in Movie Theater, a Fire Station, Train Station, Amusement Park, Cadillac/Oldsmobile dealership, Gas Station and much more. The museum can be seen on his CARSOF DREAMS web site. (dot com) Please e-mail us if you can't find it.

The Cars Of Dreams Museum is not open to the public. John uses the Museum to hold special events to raise money for charitable causes like the American Cancer Society and his annual "Shop With A Cop" to raise money for underprivileged kids"

The reason I felt it necessary to give you background information on where this car is on display as well as who owns it  is as follows:

John is very proud of his collection and museum and only seeks the best of the best cars available. A few times of the year he sells some of his cars to make room for new acquisitions.

I have sold over the past several years, millions of dollars of his cars for John and everyone lucky purchaser has been 100% delighted & pleased.

If you have a really special car, in Museum Quality condition, that you might like to sell, please send us the details. John is always looking for very high quality vintage cars.

The Museum has a staff of highly trained professional mechanics and craftsman and every car is thoroughly inspected before it is released to the lucky buyer.

Your personal inspection is most welcomed...only of course by appointment. If your flying in, the Palm Beach Airport is 15 miles to the South and Ft. Lauderdale approx. 50 miles to the South. Please have your financing in place prior to coming to inspect this car. 

One request, PLEASE do not call the Cars Of Dreams Museum direct...you will only be referred by Jen or Marie to our number which is 954-873-6495

All cars are owned free and clear by The Museum or one of Mr. Staluppi's dealerships.

All payments, including any deposits, will be made directly to one of his dealerships or to Mr. Staluppi.

We are not acting as "brokers" or "Middlemen" but are doing this for our friendship with John...so you are not paying more for this car because of our assistance.
