South Beach Classics

Need a classic car? If you're in Miami, where old-time autos fit in perfectly with the city's glitz and glamour, Ted Vernon is the man to see. The no-nonsense, gregarious Long Islander runs Florida's largest classic car dealership, where he buys, sells, trades and exchanges unique cars from a lot that houses more than 300 of them. His outgoing personality meshes seamlessly with the colorful collectibles he moves each day, helped by an eclectic shop crew affectionately dubbed "the gargoyles."
