Our Story "O u r S t o r y" I am Steve Phelps, a Retired Entrepreneur who has a “Real Passion” for Cars and has been in the Automobile business as a Buyer, Collector or Seller most of my life. Professionally, I have a CFO/CEO background and spent the majority of my life founding and running a Healthcare Company which became a large NASDAQ Publicly Traded Corporation. I eventually retired and purchased a Honda Automobile Dealership to pursue my passion for cars. Then … I retired again (this time for good) and relocated to beautiful Central Florida. However, my incredible wife, Eunice, became ill and went home to be with the Lord and I found myself with nothing to do. I had two adult children (Joshua & Loreanna) still living at home … and … I Had An Idea …………….I would pursue my passion for Automobiles … while … teaching my children what I had learned about Life, Business, Hard Work and Professionalism. I formed a business … “Father, Sons & Daughter LLC”. And started Collecting, Trading and Selling ... "Cars that We Absolutely Love" as ..."Royal Auto & Truck Sales". We are now close to selling 500 cars through the Internet, my oldest son and his wife (Lars & Christine) have also joined us full time ... and … we have purchased the “FSD Hot Rod Ranch”. This is the Greatest Business Venture of my Life!
