Hello, I am Michael Fiori and I want to welcome you to our website and thank you for taking time to visit.
Columbia Classic Cars is a result of my life long passion for antique, classic and collector cars. I believe it began when my mother brought me home from the hospital soon after my birth in 1951. At that time my family owned a 1942 Packard Model 160, 7-passenger sedan and my very first ride in an automobile was in that car, wrapped up in a blanket in my mother’s arms. That is when my addiction to Packards began and since then it has expanded to other marques as well. I might mention that my father also owned a 1948 Ford pick-up at the time. Years later he would chide me that I actually came home in that red truck! But the smile on his face and the wink that I would catch him giving to my mother assured me that it was the Packard and not the Ford that made the delivery.
Over the years I committed much time and considerable resources building my personal auto collection. The inner voice in me was always there suggesting that I should in some way some day find the time and energy to make my passion my business. In 2004 I decided the time was right to launch my new business, Columbia Classic Cars as a way to continue my hobby while meeting, working with, and providing automobiles to other collector car aficionados and hobbyists who share the same passion. So far so good!
