    Hello everyone!

    New member from Brookline. Was doing some digging online and ran into the name Gaston Andrey. It seems he owned quite a few locations in the area.

    1. Framingham Swiss Chalet, that you can still see on Route 9

    2. West Newton, building still exists, but is now a SafeLite Glass workshop

    3. Brookline location, now Village Auto Body

    I also found out there was another dealer in Cohasset, MA named Autohaus.

    Does anyone have pictures from these old locations? A google search isn't turning up much.

    somewhere I have pics of the Framingham showroom at Rt 9/90, taken in the mid 80s. Red 308GTSi with a black targa roof. Also have other pics from 1991 from below the showroom, one of the first US F40s in storage awaiting delivery. Also recall pics that day of a Silver on red 348TB.

    Owners son was always friendly, got to cruise in a yellow 80s TR on one visit. He has a website by the way, they still broker cars: no longer race though.

    Roger Andrey, google it

    Somewhere I've got some photos from the old Rt. 9 Gaston Andrey location: several of a 288 GTO and some pics of 15-year old me sitting in a C/4. Actually had a "job interview" with Roger when I was 16 (around '90-91), I was applying to be a lot boy - didn't get the job, haha, would've been driving 1.5 hours one way from home for one thing - but Roger was very gracious, at the end of the interview he took me downstairs where newly-delivered cars (among others) were stored...still recall seeing a brand new Testarossa, window-sticker in place, plastic on the sills, etc. down there among several other cars. Still have Roger's business card someplace, glossy card with a white TR on it.

    I visited Autohaus a few times back in the day, also have some pics of a 288 GTO on the floor there, as well as several photos of a brand-new blue 348.

    I loved Gaston Andrey in Framingham, though, with the whole Swiss-chalet thing going on. The people were nice to me, as a kid, too.

    I remember seeing that 288 GTO on the floor as well (and also at the NE Auto Show in Boston) -- I have pics somewhere. Isn't that the car that he kept for a few years then sold to Bill Cosby?
