Stopped by to check out a gorgeous '59 Thunderbird I'd seen on a dealership Facebook post. Glad I did, it was a great experience. Ed chatted with me about the car, shared some technical details, was knowledgeable about the maintenance history on the vehicle, and allowed me a test drive. At NO point was he pushy or high-pressure like a "car salesman," but then again this isn't a corporate car dealership. In fact it's more like an auto museum, complete with some recent additions of period décor to accentuate the antique car collection for sale. The cars were fairly priced and well-displayed. I was pleased to see a number of Sold tags, because Ed appears to run a genuine and invested business for collectors, enthusiasts and hobbyists so I hope he continues to do well here.
I did not wind up buying the Ford because after my time behind the wheel I think I'd do better in a smaller classic car, or one that is a generation or two later (I came up on cars from the 70s, not 50s), but I wouldn't have known that without the opportunity to drive it. My wife and I walked away saying how great an experience it was, and we'll definitely be scouting SJC's online inventory for prospects for a return trip.
