The most interesting and unusual of finds tend to come when you least expect it.  Adolfo Massari and Andrew Mastin were only a few days into relocating Luxury Brokers International to their new facility here in the Frankford section of Philadelphia. As Andrew pulled up to the new shop, he could hardly get out of his truck before an SUV pulled up beside me, put down the window, and asked, “Hey, do you want to see some old cars”?
    Having seen LBI's  collection migrate, this gentlemen must have taken notice and figured they might like what he knew about; and was he ever right. Only minutes later and two blocks down the road they stopped in front of a circa 1950’s warehouse, walked in, shook a few hands and were then blown away. In front of them, stationary for nearly 30+ years was a dusty 1937 Rolls-Royce Wraith Sedanca by Windovers. Sitting on flat tires, and clearly forgotten. As the story goes, the car was owned by the warehouse owner’s father since the early 1950’s when he purchased it from RR-dealer Inskip in NYC.  The car was enjoyed for many years as the father was a RROC club member. Unfortunately he fell ill and the car was put away.
   Some interesting conversation and a bag of cash later, Adolfo and Andrew could haul out the Rolls and now it is a sight to behold at their stylish new facility. Andrew adds: "There’s nothing like walking into the shop first thing in the AM and seeing an old relic, still dusty and barn fresh. It reminded us of why we are out there every day doing what we do, because we love cars and the thrill of the find!"
