Classic cars garage around Oberrieden

I've tried every googling trick I know but couldn't get this one.

There used to be a garage selling old american iron (Stingrays and the like) located along the "lake road" close to Oberrieden - can't remember if it was between Oberrieden and Thalwil or Oberrieden and Horgen; I remember it was pretty close to the Volvo place in Oberrieden; but I can't recall the name of it no matter how hard I try.

Has anyone driven past it recently and does anyone recall the name?

No - it's a much smaller one. I remember they used to have a Blues Brothers style police car to rent out too.

Re: Classic cars garage around Oberrieden

Did it have what appeared to be a bike shelter structure with seven or eight cars under it including a stingray and GT40 replica ?
If so then I can recall it and it is definitely between Wollishofen and Hörgen, as I used to cycle past it...Ill see if I can find it..

Yeah, under a tiny shed as described by Dave. They used to have a Daytona Vette back then.

Re: Classic cars garage around Oberrieden

The other place (not on the Seestrasse) in Wadenswil is up the hill towards the motorway on the RHS.Seems a bit more upmarket than the Seestrasse one.Often called in to see what they had - usually US muscle cars.I'd like one but can't get the old girl and the 2 dogs in.Looks like they're gonna have to go......lol

I've seen the yellow car mod countless times in Zürich!

Edit: Oh, I see that they're not located near the lake :/

Re: Classic cars garage around Oberrieden

I know the special cars place, but that ain't the one. I used to see quite a lot the yellow pimped car - quite close to where I was in Thalwil.

Nope, and unfortunately I had no time to physically go there and look for it...

Do you happen to remember the name of it? I've been trying without success so far to find their website again, see what they have on offer.

Re: Classic cars garage around Oberrieden

I have done a little bit of research but cannot find any Clasic car garages in that area, they all seem to be on the oppsite side of the lake or closer to Zurich.

Cassie if you know the name!
