Hey everyone, our first interview is in, and I literally asked this gentleman 10 minutes ahead of time. Let's see how well he did. Below is my list of questions and his responses.
For today's ambush, we have Mr. Giorgio Rich, he owns a very reputable car business, Midwest Vintage Cars. Let's see what he had to say:
What namee do people in the biz call you by? i.e. nickname
How old are you?
Hometown is?
How long have you been a car guy?
How did you get into the business?
How many years have you been in business?
What services do you offer? i.e., broker, dealer, shipping, appraisal,s etc.
What is your best memory in the industry?
What is the worst memory in the industry?
Your greatest failure, and how did you bounce back?
Your greatest success?
American Muscle or European Machine?
What is your dream car, and do you own it?
What is the best advice you'd give yourself 30 years ago?
If someone is interested in getting into the business, what are some what are the local and state laws? i.e., licensing, permits, etc?
Give me a brief paragraph on your perspective on life currently, and what advice would you give the next generation of car guys? DaCarGuy always says (50 years from now no one will be restoring a Tesla and winning best of show), Classics are here to stay.
His response 1. Almost everyone calls me Rich or G
2 37
3 Merrillville Indiana
4 since I can remember, probably 6-7
5 started collecting Porsche and Corvette for myself and soon found out I had a knack for find good cars and how to make good deals on them Finally was tapped on the shoulder by some heavy hitters and some large collections to be their buyer, and finally opened my own shop in 2017.
6 over all 13 years
7 broker-dealer restoration appraisal and collection builder for fun and investment ventures
8 meeting Steve Plaster and seeing his collection in person but truly it’s the face that people make when they get there dream car
9 probably watching Dino Ferrari fall off a trailer but everyday comes with its issues
10 I’m not sure I’ve had some bad deals that went sideways due myself or client but you learn from your mistakes and try to forgive and forget but always be mindful everyone has good and bad side
11 my family
12 both
13 300sl i did but sold it will have another one
14 buy more air cooled porsche and save for the rainy days as they will always come
15 start small don’t open a dealership just cause you think you’ve sold a few cars and always be as honest as you can be
16 honesty is the best policy and family is first the car industry will always have good and bad times and good and bad people try to surround yourself with real players who teach how to improve your self and put money in your pocket this is game of small wins that will lead to huge deals but you don’t always have to hit home runs singles and doubles will keep food on the table and money in your pocket never judge a book by its cover believe half of what you see and nothing you hear judge every person you deal with on one to one basis as people will always talk badly about other people so judge them on how they treat you remember if it’s too good to be thru that’s cause it is and last but not least try to be direct to the owner or the seller daisy chains never pay off as to if restoring Tesla will ever be a thing maybe but classic cars will never go away the only thing that changes are the buyers and what is actually collectible and worth buying
It’s a great business and will never fully ret.
