Transportation Emporium utilizes various internet venues to promote and sell its product. Our Ebay ID is TransportationEmporium. Our thesamba.com ID is Transportation Emporium. We also sell directly to customers. Kindly contact us to discuss your needs. Promoting and producing the Deutsche Classic, Mid-Atlantic’s premier all German automotive event is central to our mission to delight our customers and fuel their passion. The Deutsche Classic is held each year on the second Saturday of July in Reading, Pennsylvania. Plan now to join us July 12th, 2008. We have just completed renovating a new business facility - the 1940's Packard automotive dealership in downtown Reading. 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 during 2008. 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 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 current personal stable includes a '50 Split Window VW, '66 Single Cab VW truck with 39,000 miles and a one owner '73 Porsche 914. 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 and their daughter Hannah is in her fouth year of a six year program 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 one-off 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. Having successfully passed his passion on to his two sons, Andy’s daily driver is a ‘67 Mustang and Josh drives a ‘94 Mustang convertible. Bryan has been married for 28 years to Carey, a fifth grade teacher at Conrad Weiser Middle School.
