I really did enjoy walking around this place. It's full of old cars most of which were in good shape and all for sale. If I only had room!

I bought a blue '50 Coronet from them online. It was my first time buying a car online but it was so convenient and hassle free with these guys. I spoke personally to Bob, the owner, many times and I honestly felt like I was a valued customer. I would honestly recommend them to anyone looking or interested in purchasing a classic car. I live in Florida by the way and Bob even made a phone call and helped get my car shipped quicker. I've been driving my Coronet for over a week now in Florida.

Bob Lichty has been a great source of knowledge, rare cars and customer satisfaction for many years. Showroom clean collectable cars. Take the grandkids for a museum like portfolio of Americana.

I've purchased several vintage vehicles, both two-wheeled and four-wheeled, from Motorcar Portfolio. Bob and his staff are true enthusiasts and always a pleasure to do business with.

Do not do business with this dealer. Bob Lichty is dishonest. His employees told me one thing and then Bob did not honor those promises and sold a car out from under me. Poor communication; says he didn't get my emails when he clearly had. Stay away!
