Default Melvin Benzaquen still in business?
Is Melvin Benzaquen still in business? Years ago i visited his shop in Sloatsburg and later bought his book Trans Am & Firebird Restoration. The last i heard he moved the shop but I can't find any information on the internet.

I was told he had to move to Texas and had become a real estate agent.

Note:...my info is many years old by now. Likely he's moved on to another enterprise by now. (other than being an author)

Thanks for the info. It looks like he is in real estate/home building in Texas and out of the Trans Am/Firebird restoration business.

I was referring to his choice to get out of the restoration business. It's a tuff profession.
