Classic Car Dealer Eyeing Orange

Dragone Classic Cars wants to move its Westport and Bridgeport operations to Orange. The company restores antique, rare and special interest vehicles. It says it wants to rent a 66 thousand-foot building located at 5 Connair Rd. from Saunders Legatees, LLC.

Dragone currently has a showroom in Westport and a repair facility in Bridgeport, both of which would be relocated to Orange. Dragone is requesting a used car dealership license for antique auto restoration and sales.

According to Manny Dragone, this third-generation business employees 30 to 40 workers in both locations, but wants this spot so he can have everything under one roof: renovation, sales and auctions.

  1. This is all well and good. But, if you haven’t noticed, there are no car dealerships in Orange. It has historically not been a permitted use in town. Honda and Acura once looked at the area, but moved on to Milford. Repair garages are only permitted in the C-1 District and are prohibited in C-2.
