Deal Breaker THEN MAKER

With 350 cars in his inventory at any time, Alex Manos of Beverly Hills Car Club in Los Angeles runs one of the larger collector car dealerships in the hobby. Manos began buying and selling cars from his garage around 2000 and by 2009, selling cars was a full-time business complete with a showroom. He says the specialty of Beverly Hills Car Club is European models and American Classic cars.

Today, the dealership’s inventory ranges from $5000 project cars to mint exotics priced in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and his clientele is just as diverse. Celebrities and “civilians” alike are counted among the customers who buy and sell cars to Beverly Hills
