If you’d like to be a classic car collector but can’t afford the price tags on them, there may still be a way to own, at least, a portion of one. Rally Rd. is a two year old alternative investment platform that lets retail investors buy shares in classic cars. This is just different enough that we thought it was worth a Closer Look. Co-Founder and CEO of Rally Rd., Chris Bruno, joins me now.

1.   Your company launched in 2016. What type of cars are we talking about?

2.   So you offer investors a share of a classic car? If I wanted to purchase a share or shares, what’s the process?

3.   Are there transaction fees just like a typical stock purchase?

4.   So is this essentially an IPO for a car?

5.   How do your members make money?

6.   And this is all SEC regulated?

7.   Can someone purchase the entire car outright while shareholders own their shares?

8.   If that happens, how are shareholders compensated?

9.   How big is your current collection of cars available to invest in?

10.Can you tell me how many members you currently have?

11.Is your company making money yet?

12. I read that you had planned to expand this year into possibly art or sports memorabilia. Is that still on target?

Purchasing equity shares in classic cars that, up to now, may only have been on your wish list. Taking a Closer Look, I’m Terry Ruffolo.
