Italian Business Entrepreneurs Propose International Opportunity 

To Lebanon Based Classic Car Dealership

__________________________________________________________________________________________

 (Lebanon, TN - December 12, 2007)  The popularity of classic cars continues to grow throughout the United States and, in fact, interest in our Americana classics has evolved into an impressive global phenomenon.  Due to such enormous International interest in these classic automobiles, Italian entrepreneurs Matteo Preziosi and Claudio Zanetti are opening their own American classics dealership in Milan.  The facility will also serve as an American classic car distribution point for various countries throughout the European continent. 

The two men recently came to the United States to tour Lebanon based Classic Cars Southeast and discuss business opportunities with the company’s management team.  “This visit has developed into a wonderful personal friendship and great business relationship”, said Dale Nunnery, founder and president of the classic car dealership, “we are extremely pleased that our new friends from Italy are interested in our company as a business partner.”  The International guests were impressed with the dealership’s inventory, one vehicle was purchased on the spot and several others were selected for possible inclusion in their initial inventory.  All parties agree that this meeting was just the first step in a lasting and mutually beneficial relationship.  

Both Italian visitors personally own several American made vehicles and they are confident that a special facility dedicated to the European market is a wise investment.  “My favorite American vehicle is the Mustang and I have two of them”, said Preziosi during an informal interview at the classic car dealership, “these beautiful vehicles have a way of speaking to your heart”.  The two visitors have been friends for some time and share the same sentiment about the American classics.  “We have entered into a venture that will bring joy to all of our customers, as well as ourselves”, said Zanetti,” the only problem is that we will become attached to the cars and want to keep all of them in our personal collections.” 

The businessmen were on a mission to align themselves with an American distributor of classic cars and an integral tool in preparing for this journey was the internet, that’s what led them to the middle Tennessee classic car dealership.  They coordinated a meeting with Classic Cars Southeast, came to the US on a “fact finding” trip and began to coordinate all proper procedures.  An integral component of their business plan is the development of an impressive web site for their new company.  This site, coupled with an adequate inventory and a strong desire to provide excellent customer service, will create the necessary foundation toward a very rewarding business.   Both men have varied experiences in the automotive field and look forward to opening their new dealership, which will also include a vehicle restoration and service center for all types of automobiles. 

Classic Cars Southeast is located in Lebanon, Tennessee (about 30 miles east of Nashville).  They buy, sell and restore investment quality, American classic and muscle cars.  The dealership has become known for its impressive “all-indoor” “museum-quality” showroom that has become a “world-class” facility for the most discerning car enthusiast.  For some time the company has recognized the importance of high profile positioning in the international market as their facility has evolved into a preferred attraction for many European tourists visiting the Nashville area.

and award winning classic vehicle.  The businessmen traveled all the way from Italy to

 tour the classic car facility.  During this visit, they met with the dealership’s management

team and entered into an important business agreement.  This new relationship designates

 the American company as a supplier of various classic automobiles for a new European

 dealership the two men will soon open in Milan.
