Little River is a neighborhood well-known to older Miami natives, and has recently entered the radar of younger generations. One of Miami's oldest neighborhoods, Little River was established as an agricultural community. A natural evolution led to its development into one of Miami's most vibrant commercial, entertainment, and residential areas. Speak to those who grew up in Miami from the 1920's-1960's, and they'll fondly recall hamburgers and birch beer from Royal Castle, go-carting behind St. Mary's Cathedral, and movies at the Rosetta Theater. Having fallen into a decline after the development of Interstate 95 and the increased popularity of the shopping mall, this culturally diverse neighborhood, along with those that surround it (Little Haiti, West Little River, and the historic residential neighborhoods of El Portal and Palm Grove) is now experiencing another evolution - this time led by creative entrepreneurs.
Squad goals, indeed.
The Classic Motor Company might just be the stuff that dreams are made of. The dealer specializes in immaculately restored "modern classics" (think 1960's Mercedes Benz Pagodas, 1970's BMW 2002 Turbos, Corvette Stingrays, the list goes on...) As if that wasn't enough, they also run two restoration companies - one specializing in Porsche 911s (The 911 Company) and the other in cult-classic vintage Toyota FJ Land Cruisers (The FJ Company). As of now they show cars by appointment and online, but later in 2016 you'll be able to gaze at these beauties at their new 10,000sf showroom across the street.
