A love of classic cars
keeps area man busy
By NICOLE ANTONUCCI
Recorder News Staff
TOWN OF FLORIDA — For
the past 33 years, John Turner
has been tinkering with cars,
specifically taking older classic
cars and selling them with a little modernized twist.
Yet it is more than just a hobby
for the 74-year-old, it is a job.
Turner owns and operates J.
Colonial Auto Sales on Route
30, which opened in 1981 after
Turner hung up his carpenter’s
belt.
“I was always interested in
cars since I was a kid,” he said.
“I was a carpenter but when help
got scarce I got into the car business.”
As part of that business, Turner
purchases and sells domestic and
foreign cars. But his true passion
is taking cars of days long gone
and transforming them to run
today.
“I like the originals but I really
like the street rods,” Turner said.
“You take the original outside
and you change everything on
the inside so everything is modernized and powered. In the ’30s
they didn’t have power steering
and power brakes. I currently
have a 1938 Chevrolet with a v8
motor all customized. It’s a
beautiful car.”

Council budget session, Barone
suggested the council eliminate
the deputy controller position and
move $20,000 into the contractual
fund for Agresta to use if he needed help. The council, however,
decided to leave the deputy controller in the budget for another
year after Agresta argued he needed Mitchell’s help in the office.
“[Agresta’s] got to get out on
his own. If he needs help we’ll
get him the help,” Barone said.

• An Amsterdam man was
arrested and charged with
unlawful possession of marijuana after troopers investigated a complaint of a suspicious
vehicle in Bethlehem. Harley
J. Fountain, 23, was found in
his vehicle behind a Stewart’s,
police said. During an interview, troopers said they
smelled marijuana, and after
searching his car, Fountain
was found to be in possession
of a small amount of it.
Fountain is due to appear in
court at a later date.
There is a lot of interest in
classic cars, Turner said, which
is why he expanded the business
to the state of Florida where
classic cars are popular.
“Every day there is a classic
show down in Florida,” he said.
“I probably sell 25 to 30 classics
a year. There is a lot of interest
down there.”
So how does one get a classic
car?
For Turner the answer is simple — a car auction.
Turner said he attends approximately five to six car auctions a
week in Florida and a few in
New York. In addition, he
attends car shows, as well as
highline sales, which is where
he obtains the more expensive
cars like Rolls Royce, Maserati,
Mercedes and others.
In addition to the job, Turner
said he is also a collector.
Currently he has seven cars in
his possession, including a
Model A Ford roadster, a 1960
Lincoln Continental, 1951
Chevy, and others.
“I enjoy it very much,” Turner
said, adding he has no plans to
retire from the job or the hobby.
“I enjoy going to classic car
shows and auctions. I like the
individual part of it.”

“There are other avenues we can
go down. Somebody mentioned
getting the state in here to help us
and we have county help too. We
don’t have to put out all this
money for training.”
Barone said the council will
take a look at the situation during
a special meeting tonight.
“We’ll look into this so we
cover our backs and do everything right,” he said. “I don’t
know if we have to pass some
sort of resolution but we want to
make sure this is done correctly
so we don’t go to litigation.”
Mayor Ann Thane, who has
been out of town since last
Wednesday, said she did not
know about Mitchell’s firing, but
she said she knew Agresta was
not happy with the level of work
being accomplished.
“I know [Agresta] had had some
concerns there, so I’m not surprised,” Thane said. “He did not
feel confident enough to stand on
his own feet for a while.”
The council will meet tonight at
6 to discuss Mitchell’s termination, along with the city’s capital
projects plans.
