Hurricane Michael Alert

You may have heard the news — a 400-mile wide category 3 hurricane is heading toward Florida, expected to break landfall on Wednesday afternoon, October 10. A state of emergency has been issued in over a hundred counties in both Florida and Alabama.

The brunt of Hurricane Michael is expected to affect 300 miles of Florida’s gulf coastline, with as much as one foot of rain reaching Florida, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, and even Virginia. Windspeeds are expected in excess of 120 mph (193 kmh)!

We would like to notify you that although the most severe part of the storm will be steering clear of the Miami area, road and port closures and container transport delays are expected due to this natural phenomenon. These delays could last all week.

Rest assured that CFR Classic is committed to keeping your vehicles and cargo safe from the storm, and your cars and goods will be stored inside our modern warehouse facility (see photos). Since CFR’s own warehouse in Miami opened in 2015, we have successfully persevered through two major hurricanes with no cargo damage!

We will provide you with updates as the hurricane progresses over the course of the week.

Joey has spent his entire teen and adult life in cars. Joey's father owned a Jeep store, and Joey had his own used car lot that he ran himself from age 22 until I was 30. At 30 years old, Joey got "out of" the car business and joined CFR Rinkens. Joey started when there were only 9 people at CFR, but the company grew to over 150 employees during his time there. When Joey started, CFR Rinkens was shipping about 40 vehicles per week from Los Angeles. Joey established locations in Houston, Miami, and New York and within the first year, CFR went to shipping 150 cars per week. Joey started as a customer service rep and later moved up to sales manager, operations manager, and marketing manager. Joey then moved to Europe for two years and spent the entire time traveling through Europe meeting with clients. In 2022, Joey and his partners purchased CFR Classic from CFR Rinkens and he returned to California to watch over the operation more closely.
