Corvette Connection Florida
I’m looking for info on Corvette Connection of Pompano Beach Florida. It went out of business close to 20 years ago but does anyone know the any employee’s from back then? I believe Paul Alexander was the owner. I’m curious but I know it’s a long shot.

I remember Corvette Concepts in Pompano, but not Corvette Connection.

There was a company in Florida called The Connection, that went out of business roughly 15 years ago. They were an auto parts wholesale company, that sold AC Delco and other brands to collector car companies. There was a woman sales rep there that specialized in selling parts to Corvette vendors. At the moment, her name escapes me, but she was my rep and I may still have her name at the office. I know she was still in Florida a couple years ago. I could possibly have an old price list, or other info about The Connecrtion, at my shop. I'll try to remember to look around, when I get in on Tuesday.

The owners of the shop were Paul and Maria Alexander. They were in business from ‘81-‘92, as far as I can tell. They started another corvette business two years later in Boca Raton under a different name, but still Corvette and it looks like it went out in ‘02.

I have a business card of a Paul D'Alessandro owner of Corvette Experience located at 903 NE 42nd St, Oakland Park Florida 33334, 954-563-3030 . Maybe this is who you are asking about.
I was there about 5 years ago. Not sure if his business is still going.

There is a 67 Corvette stored in my garage that was bought from corvette connections in Florida the owner got ripped off by that place and was stuck with this car it hasn’t moved out of my garage in 20 years. Maybe there some paperwork in the car with names on it or I can contact the owner and see if he has any information.

I grew up in Pompano Beach, and there was a company there that went bankrupt about 20 years ago. As I recall, the saga was that the company took Corvettes on consignment, but as part of the consignment agreement, actually took title to the cars. In the bankruptcy, the court determined that the cars were assets of the company, and the cars were subsequently sold to pay the creditors. So, a number of consignors lost their cars. It was a pretty ugly situation.
The company I'm recalling may have been Corvette Connections, but I'm not absolutely sure. It wasn't Corvette Experience--Corvette Experience is still in business, and as far as I know has a good reputation.

I think it was actually "Corvette Collection", based on a check of the Florida Division of Corporations. Paul Alexander was an officer and/or registered agent for several companies with variations of that name.
