2025 was another banner year at Turtle Garage. We evolved. We changed. We sold several cars. We added some new ones. We revisited our youth by acquiring a lightly used totally original Honda Pilot unicorn. We showed at the Delray Concours and attended the Greenwich Concours. Most importantly, we held the Turtle Invitational V and […]
Now that Pebble Beach is behind us, collectors and enthusiasts are turning their attention to the fall calendar. Autumn in the Northeast is rich with exceptional automotive gatherings—St. Michaels in Maryland, The Bridge in Bridgehampton, The Boston Cup, The Lime Rock Historic Festival, and The Audrain in Newport, to name just a few. Each has […]
The 5th Turtle Invitational Is Here — And Filling Fast We’re thrilled to announce the fifth edition of the Turtle Invitational — a one-of-a-kind celebration of automotive excellence, camaraderie, and conversation.

Philip Richter, managing partner at Hollow Brook Wealth Management in Katonah, New York, spoke with Crain Currency about how family offices are approaching collector cars as an asset class — including how values are changing, what makes a car investment-grade and why younger generations are driving renewed interest. How did you first become interested in […]
Our beloved 2001 Mercedes-Benz R129 is now live on Bring a Trailer. Dean Laumbach found this unusual car back in 2016. I will never forget how it went down. I was riding my motorcycle across Cuba with a group of friends and clients. There were only a few places that had reliable internet access on […]
While our website was largely dormant and quiet in 2024, collector car activity behind the scenes at Turtle Garage reached new all time highs. Indeed, 2024 was a very full and special year at Turtle Garage. First on the list was marrying Kyle Olson in October. A highlight of the wedding was driving in style […]
At Turtle Garage, we are longtime fans of the R129 SL—our love affair with this groundbreaking car dates back to 1990. A dealer poster of it hung above my bed at Boston College. Sightings of the then-new SL were rare in Boston, but I remember being at Jimmy’s Harborside for my 20th birthday and seeing […]
Last week we were honored to be a guest on an episode of Matt Miller & Paul Sweeney’s Bloomberg Markets. We discussed financial markets, art and collector car auctions, interest rates, the Ferris Bueller’s Day Off 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder, and the upcoming RM Sotheby’s Ferrari GTO auction.

We have a full schedule lined up and are attending (among other events) The Quail, Pebble Beach Classic Car Forums, Concours deLeMons, RetroAuto, the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, and of course, the Concours on Sunday (the full Monterey […]
In the current issue of Sports Car Market, we look at three cars to either Buy, Sell, or Hold. Our buy pick is the odd but interesting Iso Grifo. Our hold is the 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series. Our sell is ironically the cover car of the June issue—the Ferrari 512 BB/BBi.
The 2022 Greenwich Concours is in the books. Last year, Covid caused a postponement of the show and it was ultimately held in October. The Greenwich Concours is now back on its regular early June schedule. The Hagerty website succinctly summarized the 2022 event: This year, Saturday’s Cars & Community showcased 125 vehicles, including some of […]
