The Deutsche Classic is held each year on the second Saturday of July in Reading, Pennsylvania. Plan now to join us Saturday, July 10th, 2010. We have completed renovating our new business facility - the 1940's Packard automotive dealership in downtown Reading (1041 Washington Street). With a formal showroom as well as over 7,000 sq ft of showroom space in the “shop”, we look forward to expanding opportunities to fuel your German automotive passion. About Us Fred and his family lived and worked in Malaysia (Southeast Asia) for 14 years, returning to their home in Pennsylvania in 2003. In Malaysia, Fred was the co-founder and principle of a computer software development and marketing company – growing the company from a start-up to over thirty employees. Over those 14 years, his suitcases were often filled - not with clothing - but with New Old Stock parts sourced while traveling throughout Asia – often testing the airlines’ luggage then 70 lb. weight limit! Fred continues to make trips overseas sourcing obsolete NOS parts for vintage Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen marques. At the age of 14, Fred drove his first car (MGA) through the fields of rural Berks County, Pennsylvania and moved on to own over 30 British and German cars before leaving his teen years. By his twenties, German cars dominated the scene with a focus on air-cooled Porsche and early Volkswagens. More recently he was thrust into the Mercedes-Benz arena when he purchased the BenzFarm – a large collection of cars and parts from 1950 through the 1970s. Fred’s more recent acquisition is a collect of ten early 170 models Mercedes-Benz that includes a ’52 OTP and a ’52 coach-built station wagon. Fred's wife Shelley, is a chemistry teacher at Twin Valley High School, and they have two children. Their son Jesse is enjoying living and working his international relations passion in Washington DC (periodically deployed to Afghanistan) and their daughter Hannah is in her final year of a doctoral program in physical therapy at Duquesne University. Bryan Hirneisen Bryan partners with Fred annually for the production of the Deutsche Classic, a premier all-German automotive event. Bryan is well known by the Deutsche Classic attendees for his creation of the beautiful custom hand crafted trophies. Bryan’s a true car guy and can still remember the first time he saw a Mustang in 1964. Bryan couldn’t understand why an old guy (he was probably 30) would buy such a cool car. Bryan bought his first car in 1976, a 1969 Mustang, which he still owns! So it is no surprise that at any given moment, several Ponies can be found in Bryan’s driveway. Bryan has been married for 29 years to Carey, a sixth grade teacher at Conrad Weiser Middle School.
