Steven Zelman's interest in classic cars was sparked during the early 1980s, as he watched the character Tubbs drive a vintage Cadillac convertible on "Miami Vice." Now he's the proud owner of a 1964½ Mustang convertible. "I feel like a kid every time I drive it," he says. His family loves it, too. "My oldest son, Brandon, is taking it to the prom." Zelman has promised the car to his younger son, Kyle, and Zelman and his wife take it out on date nights. "It makes us feel like teenagers again. There are very few investments in life that can bring you this kind of happiness."
Also in the garage: "I own a Cadillac CTS Coupe — I love the lines on it — a Porsche 911 convertible and a Lexus SUV to transport the family and dogs. I am selling the Porsche 911 as I enjoy driving the classic cars."
On the wish list: "I'm looking for a 1971 Eldorado convertible and a 1970 Corvette convertible. The Eldorado is for my dad, as he passed away four years ago, and to him, owning a Cadillac was the ultimate sign of success. The Eldorado was the king of the Caddys, and I want something to help keep his memory alive as well. The Corvette would be for me."
