Classic Cars Getting The Special Treatment BY WILLIAN RIGGINS
SPECIALSECTIONS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
Alan Stewart got his first car at 16, and then bought his second car from a neighbor at 17. Now, his garages in Merrick and Bellmore house seven unique vintage cars; some have carried celebrities and athletes through ticker-tape parades, some have been housed in museums and one has brought a bride and groom into a Gothic wedding. As Stewart tells the stories of how he acquired his different cars, a sense of joy, pride and love come over his face. There in his driveway in Merrick is the yellow 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby that is signed on the interior by world champion racer Mario Andretti and Carroll Shelby, the man who designed the car. That car also led to his daughter’s name: Shelby. Next to that is the red 1965 Chevy Impala SS 396. A 1995 Dodge Viper sits behind that one, with the sleek and long look of a race car. Then there is the one he drives most of his antique cars—he also has a normal sedan with a license plate bearing his business, “Aquarium”—a red 1999 Porsche Roadster. Over at his other garage, he pulls out two cars that have a real American aura to them. His lime green 1970 Dodge Charger is what he calls “the muscle of the muscle.” The car roars as he moves it in reverse and teases the throttle. It once sat in the Collector Cars Showcase of the Oyster Bay Museum, where Stewart claims Billy Joel grew keen of it. To finish off its classic American feel, a Jimi Hendrix 8-track cassette is plugged into the car’s cassette player. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner occupies the spot next to the muscle, with stickers of the cartoon roadrunner on the car’s rear and the cartoon’s “beep beep” chirp emitting from the horn. The Brooklyn-born Stewart loves these cars, and he is the only one who gets to drive them. The seventh and most visually unique car is driven exclusively by Stewart for reasons that go beyond his love and feeling of protection for it. That’s because his black 1960 Cadillac Hearse is almost 20 feet long and gets less than 10 miles to the gallon, making it difficult to maneuver for the average driver. On top of that the old hearse is filled, literally to the surface of its windows, with spooky Halloween animatronics. From a spinning zombie head to a skeleton facing out the rear window, the animatronics are frightening and active. Stewart

1999 Porsche Roadster says this car is booked more than any of his other ones, and right now he is already mostly booked through this Halloween. Ironically the hearse isn’t used for funerals—Stewart refuses—but it
has been used to drive a bride and groom into their Gothic-themed wedding. Otherwise, the car is most likely lurking through a haunted Halloween event. Stewart doesn’t use an agency or
1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 representative to book his cars; he runs his own website called www. vipersvetters.com where a click on any of the car’s pictures induces an audio clip of its specific engine starting.

There is a $10 entry fee for each participating car, but no charge for spectators. In addition to more than 500 classic car entries on display across more than a dozen categories, this year’s show will feature a special edition “Viva Italia!” marquee section, which will be headlined by the New York Alfa Romeo Owners Club. “For classic car collectors and e nthusiasts, there’s nothing better than a lovely day at a beautiful

Car owners can pre-register up until Sept. 14. Car owners can also register on the day of the event, between 10 a.m. and noon, but space is limited. There is no charge for spectators, and parking is free. Snacks, beverages and ice cream will be available for purchase during the event.

Next Up: American Hot Rods At Collector Car Showcase Collector Car Showcase (CCS) (www.collectorcs.com), the only museum/showcase devoted to automotive memorabilia, Petroliana, and vintage cars in the metropolitan New York area, debuted its exhibit “The American Hot Rod” this week. This marks the third successive exhibition that will be on display through Oct. 31 at the 18,000-squarefoot facility located at 85 Pine Hollow Rd. (Route 106) on the southern approach to the historic North Shore Long Island Gold Coast hamlet of Oyster Bay. The Petroliana museum, as car aficionados liken it, is open to the public daily from Tuesday through Saturday. It will feature a number of award-winning hot rods that have captivated audiences nationwide and are on loan to Collector Car Showcase for this special and rare exhibit. Douglas B. Cooper, of Oyster Bay Cove, who is serving as curator for this new event, has loaned his 1932 Ford B400 “Deucenberg”, which captured the coveted Ridler award—the most prestigious hot rod award—in 2009. It was hand built by Alan Johnson’s Hot Rod Shop in Gadsen, AL, featuring one-off parts from bumper to bumper. The all-steel convertible sedan body features a
stylized roofline and suicide doors, covered in a rich mahogany paint by BASF that appears to be a foot deep. Dubbed the “Deucenberg V8,” the car was designed to be an elegant hot rod, drawing on cues from the luxurious Duesenbergs of that era. The B400 also won the Mothers Shine Award at SEMA in 2009, considered by many in the industry to be an acknowledgment of “Best In Show.” Another top-flight car being exhibited is a 1971 Plymouth Barracuda “G Force Cuda.” This won the Goodguys “Street Machine of the Year” in 2007 and The Chrysler Engineers Design Award at its public debut at the SEMA Show—the premier automotive products specialty event in the world—in 2006.
Built by Johnson and his team in his Gadsden shop, the G-Force ‘Cuda sent shockwaves through the hot rodding industry. It could easily be said this car is all things to all car people—it is part street machine, part muscle car, part dragster, part G-Machine, and part fantasy unlike anything seen in this industry. Statistically, it easily exceeds 200 plus mph with its 572-cubic-inch HEMI 930 HP four-wheel independent suspension and six-speed transaxle. Altogether, a congregation of more than 40 vehicles will be rotated in during the course of the exhibit, offered Collector Car Showcase founder David Jacobson. In addition,
CCS has a second floor display of European and other rare automotive treasures, which includes a world class collection of Porsche cars, Muscle cars and even a Porsche tractor. The backdrop to “The American Hot Rod” is a well-researched world class gathering of porcelain, tin and neon signs, gas pumps, vintage advertising and everything associated with Petroliana that is bound to captivate visitors of all ages. It is constantly being updated and new additions abound, according to Jacobson. Collector Car Showcase represents one of the many museums or historic sites in Oyster Bay. Aside from former President Theodore Roosevelt’s Summer White House, Sagamore Hill, under the watch of the U.S. National Park Service (www. nps.gov/sahi), which just reopened on July 12, the village is home to the Oyster Bay Railroad Museum (www. obrm.org), Raynham Hall Museum (www.raynhamhallmuseum.org), Oyster Bay Historical Society (www. oysterbayhistorical.org) and 20th Century Cycles, “Piano Man” Billy Joel’s motorcycle museum (www.20th centurycycles.com).

A Blast From The Past, ‘Back To The Future’
BY STEPHEN ROMANO
SROMANO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
An iconic car that will take you back to the 1980s and give you nostalgia for those days—possibly even literally—is the American-made DeLorean. Produced from 1981-83, the DeLorean was the most famous sports car of its time. With only around 8,000 produced, the DeLorean was a hot commodity of the era, wowing car lovers with its upward-opening gullwing doors. The cars were originally sold for $12,000, with a suggested retail price of $25,000, which is equivalent to about $65,000 today. It could be purchased with automatic or manual transmission, which accelerated the car from 0-60 in around nine seconds. The car’s interior was just as advanced as the exterior, featuring air conditioning, power windows, locks and
1981 Delorean (Photo by Sheri ArbitalJacoby) mirrors, and high-tech stereo systems. The DeLorean made a splash in pop culture when it was featured as the time machine in Back to the Future in 1985. From there on, it was used in two sequels, made into
smaller, toy versions and displayed on posters throughout movie theaters. Although the car didn’t survive very long, many people still remember it transporting Michael J. Fox through different time periods.
For the few people who have a DeLorean in their collection or are currently refurbishing one, Long Island is host to one of very few DeLorean repair and restoration shops. P.J. Grady’s is a family-owned business started in 1914 that was originally a Chevy dealership. Today, it operates as a DeLorean restoration shop. Located at 118 Main St., West Sayville, the shop offers customers many options when upgrading or restoring their classic DeLoreans. While they cannot install a flux capacitor, P.J. Grady’s can do almost everything else. It’s impossible to buy a brand-new DeLorean today, but you can still find people selling their old gems. P.J. Grady’s has a number of them in their shop so if you’re looking to explore the space-time continuum, check out Long Island’s only DeLorean repair shop.
From Shoeshining To Movie Cars BY CHRISTY HINKO
CHINKO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
When you take a look at how some of the most interesting businesses and partnerships got started, there is usually an equally fascinating story or twist of events that made it all possible. Anton Media staff recently met with the Autoseum co-owner Andy Perillo, 70, who shared the story about how he accidentally got started working on customizing cars. At 9 years old, Perillo began toting a shoeshine box along Jamaica Avenue, shining shoes for a dime. At his usual last stop of the night, he had made a friend, a mechanic at a shop on the avenue who would tell him fascinating stories and even pay him a quarter to have his shoes shined. Through his connection, he began washing used cars on an adjacent lot for 75 cents a week. Perillo said, “One day, a guy who used to come in to do body work in another garage on the lot said to me, ‘Andy when you are finished washing the cars, come with me to get this car ready to be painted.’” He was learning a trade and making connections. “One day, I saw a magazine in the garage that featured George Barris, who was talking about custom cars, and I thought, ‘I want to do what he does,’ but the guy that I was working for said I had a lot more to learn,”
said Perillo. “He told me I was just a punk-ass kid.” Perillo was not even 11 years old. Perillo continued to work in painting and customizing, learning the craft, refining he techniques. He was given a car to customize and thought this might be his big break. He was 15. He took his customized car to a show in New York City, which Barris had been judging. He left devastated. Barris threw him out of the show, but he returned with vengeance the following year with the same car, only better. The following year he took home all seven of the show’s seven trophies. Barris recognized Perillo’s work and at 18 years old, Perillo was invited to California to help Barris work on the first Batmobile. Perillo’s original shop was in Jamaica, Queens, but has since moved over to Mineola. Perillo’s resume is much more than just customized body work. He teaches, he flies planes, he rigs special effects and stunts, and more. In 2008, Perillo made the decision to retire. The day before he was due to close the doors to his shop he remembers Mike Manning stopping by and turning his retirement plans upside down. Manning used to work for Perillo, years before, when he

Herbie the Lovebug was only 14 years old. At that time, in 2008, Perillo said Manning owned two of his own body shops. “Mike made everything we have here possible,” said Perillo. In May 2012, the Mineola-based teaching museum, Autoseum launched, through a collaboration with George Barris. The Autoseum is open to the public, teaching visitors about the history, the industry, the craft and the people who make this culture of cars a reality. It’s home to many of the world’s most famous cars, as well as other unique cars created by the public, providing a place where these great vehicles can be shared with the world in one location, helping to preserve
this great art form and keep it alive and evolving for many generations. On permanent display are some of Barris’ most famous designs (such as one of the original Batmobiles, the Aston Martin DB5 from 007 and the Drag-U-La from TV’s The Munsters). The Autoseum features regular classes and workshops demonstrating highly specialized equipment and techniques. The garage employs a rotating staff of interns and apprentices from schools and colleges as well as past students from across Long Island. Autoseum was recently featured in the History Channel’s series, Leepu & Pitbull. Check out the July 15, 2015 edition of Anton’s Auto Guide for a feature about the show. Autoseum is located at 100 County Seat Dr., in Mineola. Visit www. autoseum.org or call 516-571-1894 for hours and details.
