Yikes, just there Saturday, at CCC- Country Classic Cars, bought an IHC pickup- was expected to ship out today or Thursday.  Lovely.  It was stored away from burned buildings BUT paperwork is in office that burned- though i saw safes and fire rated file cabinets- can only hope records are intact and once the mess settles i still have my purchase and titlework.  Reason i keep key paperwork in either fire safe or fire rated file cabinet.  Building that burned i remember as having the higher end vehicles they were offering
1923 T Roadster- stock
1951 Frazer Convertible
1951 Frazer Vagabond home couple weeks
1953 Packard Clipper Sedan
2 into 1 1953 Packard 8P sedans- project
1954 Hudson Hornet 4D sedan plus 2 1954 Wasp 2D sedans
1959 Rambler 6 Sedan
1961 Studebaker Hawk 289 3spd od
1964 Studebaker Avanti
1974 Avanti II

Most of business office limited water and smoke damage.  From what i was told safe with titles and key paperwork survived ok.  My purchase safe and it appears paperwork intact. 
Yes, serious loss of vehicles but no people and could have been many more gone if had spread to other buildings.  Location by interstate led to large number of people calling in the fire from early on in the event.

wow, I was just there on Friday morning August 4 on my way to Springfield, MO. I saw and photographed a lot of cars for my brother who was planning on stopping by there in early September. What a shock. Every time I drive through the St. Louis area I always make time to stop at Country Classics and I have been visiting there since 2000.

I see by the news articles that only the main building by the office was burned. I think this 48 Kaiser that I saw was in that building so it is likely a goner now, unless it had been moved since August 4 when I was there.
