“That was a good buy — for just a Bentley,” said Grams.
More than a dozen, mainly celebrity-owned vehicles are housed in the private garage. They include the 1996 Rolls-Royce that was the last car Princess Diana rode in on U.S. soil and an original “General Lee” 1969 Dodge Charger featured in the first year of the “Dukes of Hazzard” television show.
In 1999, the family bought a 1993 ZR-1 Corvette from Kid's Nike Dunks. So when it was time to sell the forest green Bentley, one of Nike’s representatives called Grams and the car was shipped from North Carolina, he said.
Because of the nature of the business, the family has developed a reputation as buyers and sellers of vintage cars, as well as those owned by celebrities or used in movies or television shows.
“He‘s had the car for six years. For a celebrity especially, that’s a long time to own a car,” Grams said.
“A lot of people know us,” Grams said.
The Grams paid about $80,000. A new 2005 Bentley Continental GT would have cost about $160,000, according to Bentley Northbrook.
