Collection Tour
November 21, 2009, Galpin Motors welcomed our FCA-SW members and their guests to
a red carpet event, where we were greeted by a staff of professionals with hospitality,
refreshments and special Ferrari parking.
Our tour began as we entered the Galpin Auto Sports museum. The museum is very special
with some gorgeous, rare and unique automobiles including a row of historic Shelby
American Cobras and Mustangs, Ed Roth custom show cars and the set of MTV’s Pimp My
Ride. Galpin is an authorized dealer for Spyker with two on display which are quite a unique
automobiles with incredible workmanship. Overall, the GAS museum is an example of what
you can do to show pieces of art.
The group proceeded to the Galpin’s Club Aston where a new Aston Martin convertible was
positioned on a turn table, the bar served cold drinks and wine followed by a spectacular
Prime Rib Luncheon on the Terrace of Club Aston.
After our delicious lunch, there were fantastic vehicles on display and available for test
drives which included the 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe, the DB9 Volante and the
Aston DBS Coupe. Many members waited with much enthusiasm for seat time in the 2009
Lotus Elise and Exige and the 2010 Jaguar XKR Coupe and XFR 4-door sports sedan.
We would like to thank Beau Boeckmann, President of the Galpin Premier Collection and
his staff for a phenomenal event. They welcome any of our FCA members to call or stop by
for a test drive in any of the cars they represent. SF
