Of course, if you want to spend a LOT of money and win a LOT of concours
afterwards, you could do worse than checking out Paul Russell & Company in
Essex, MA. They have historically focused on Mercedes, but they've won
Pebble outright at least once with a Bugatti and have won numerous awards
with Ferraris, etc. They're nice folks, too.

I have no affiliation, etc...
