Every wonder who is behind the wheel at CarShowSafari.com? Read all about us, family members, friends, designers, journalists, and historians who came together over a love for the automobile and a dedication to preserving and supporting the classic car hobby! 

Car Show Safari started as a family company in the kitchen at the Scalera home in New Jersey. In the years since, the team has expanded to include expert reporters and writers, tech guys that know their way around a code, quality control experts, and big-thinker, big-idea dreamers who know that the future of the classic car hobby looks bright. We firmly believe in the power of creative thinking, whether it’s applied to innovative vehicles like the Chevrolet Corvette or startup companies like us. We’re a little bit rag tag, a little bit different, and a little bit unique, but as many great car makers of the last century indicate, weird, creative, and passionate often pave the way for something totally great. Get to know our team today! 

 

Tommy

PRESIDENT, CREATIVE DIRECTOR & FOUNDER

Tommy is passionate about his love for the automobile, whether he’s restoring them or racing them, photographing them or writing about them. He is restoring a ‘62 Thunderbird convertible, races an ‘06 Mustang GT convertible, and has his eye on fixing up a rust-free ’67 MGB… or maybe a ’59 Triumph TR-3A… Tommy now lives with his wife, Holly, at the beach in Ventura California to be closer to the ocean and to the center of the car hobby!

Ruby

EDITOR of NEWS & SOCIAL MEDIA

Ruby studied journalism and writing at Emerson College, in Boston, Mass. She had been going to car shows and events since before she could walk, and fell in love with cars at a very young age, specifically of the 1957 Corvette variety. Ruby has written for a number of automotive publications and loves having a career that blends her two passions, writing and the automobile, and is working towards making the automotive industry more appealing and accessible to women.

Nancy

DATA RESEARCH & QUALITY ASSURANCE ASSOCIATE

Nancy is a natural-born researcher, compiling much of the listings data that appears on CarShowSafari.com, including the list of museums and junkyards along with their website links. Her “eagle-eye” ability to spot quality control issues is uncanny. Nancy manages quality assurance, identifying, analyzing, and documenting problems with website program function and navigation. She is also the President and sole member of the Toyota Avalon Enthusiasts Society of America.

Andre

VP of INFORMATION

Along with his passion for information organization and implementation, Andre has maintained a very active interest in automobiles from a young age. His first recollection of working on a car was helping his career-military father to install a fuel gauge in a 1962 VW and later inherited a 1963 Corvair Spyder as his first car. From that experience he was hooked, and still restores Corvairs to this day. Andre is also a highly-accomplished expert of military aviation history.

Bob

MOTORSPORTS EDITOR

Bob’s mother claimed, in all seriousness, that his first spoken word was not “Mama” or “Dada” but “Oldsmobile,” identifying a passing car. A veteran motorsports writer and speedway public address announcer, Bob has been to more than 100 speedways in the US and Canada covering everything from the local short track to Formula 1 and IndyCar. Bob also has always been a classic car enthusiast, and can be found roaming the aisles at Hershey every October.

Holly

Positive Vibes Director

Holly has been a positive force and main cheerleader for CarShowSafari since its inception. From turning a dining room into a meeting and command center to selling fuzzy dice at our booth at car shows, Holly’s dedication, patience, commitment and unwavering optimism is why CarShowSafari survives and thrives to this day. Without Holly, there would be no CarShowSafari.
