- William Stopford hails from Brisbane in Queensland, Australia but recently lived for a year in his favorite city, New York City. Having been an active contributor on Curbside Classic while living in two different countries, William has been able to provide readers with articles from both an American and an Australian market perspective. He has been an enthusiast from a very young age, and was once pulled aside by his preschool teacher and asked to bring something other than car magazines for show and tell as he was “boring” the other children.
