Miami Hot Cars ...Ooop's where in Fort Lauderdale - Old School Luxury Heaven
You know before this generation of car connoisseur, there were connoisseurs before us who also had a different taste when it comes to Automobiles. How do your a car enthusiast, when you don't think of a car as a stupid investment but a marriage to a life time partner. Don't try to explain this to anybody they just won't get it. Just like A-Tracks and Tapes before us (soon to be CD's), these cars from older school connoisseurs usually wallow away into oblivion due to demolishin or transitioning into something new. Some of us anal folks are able to keep some of these sources of output alive and still have an A-Trak player and Cassette player in pristine condition. Welcome to the A-Trak and Cassette players of the automobile empire. When I walked in this place of late model art forms similar to piccaso, monalisa I knew damn well I couldnt afford a thing in the place. I was greeted by salesman Tom Clark, he was a nice enough to give me a run down on the available vehicles and the history. If I could write a story it would be much to long so I think I'll go with the pictures that speak a thousand words and focus on some of the rare vehicles that you wouldn't expect to see on the road any more. Let's take a look at the Gallery an usual at Macheene, these are all available for purchase. Where just an email away at automotive@macheene.com.

The car was created as a lower price Ferrari that could compete against the likes of the Porshe 911. As a matterfact Ferrari created the vehicle just for that under the direction of Enzo Ferrari (the founder) former soccer player turned entrepeneur.
Whats so special about this vehicle the 1974 went back to an all steel frame from all aluminum (yes they did this along time ago).
