John and Joe Palma are down-to-earth brothers, internationally known for their expertise in luxury and exotic cars. A few numbers dramatize their career: $270,000, 5 to 6 years and zero. The $270,000 figure is the highest price that any client spent for renovations, with the 1960 Silver Cloud II then rightfully earning a first place in touring at a national Rolls Royce meet.

Five to six years is the longest a job has taken. Waiting for parts, you know. Luckily clients have another car. Or five or six. Luckily, they’ve learned how to design and build parts that are no longer available.
