The update after one year in business

ACCLC celebrated its first anniversary on March 1, 2005.

We seem to have achieved and even surpassed our goals because in 12 full months of activity, 69 vehicles were sold.

The museum’s contents have changed one and a half times.

We’ve seen many vehicles that are exceptional because of their rarity or condition (see the "references" section in “other sections" for the full list of all the vehicles that have already been sold since March 1, 2004).

Some 6,200 people visited the museum before the tourist season even started. The first year, we focused on selling incoming cars for sale rather than on the museum.

We’ve remedied that and have just spent three months revitalizing the museum’s activity with many projects already under way and more planned for the future.

Many customers have entrusted us with caring for their vehicle this year, but we soon realized that, due to our small structure, this year we can accept automobiles for maintenance only from October 30, 2005 to March 30, 2006; we’re already very busy refurbishing sold vehicles, even though we’ve hired Jeremy part-time.

Just 10 months after starting up, our site has so far recorded 200,000 hits per month from 71 countries.

On April 1, 2005, we made many changes and improvements to our site.

Our association is slowly gathering speed with the organization of our first rally in May or June 2005 for pre-1930 vehicles.

Our reputation is quickly spreading: "major collectors" have contacted us. Some of them have even asked us to sell their whole collections (on consignment).
