Below is just a small part of the article:
Now in its fourth season, South Beach Classics has endeared the husband-and-wife team to viewers around the world. From humble beginnings, the dealership has grown into a multimillion-dollar enterprise as Ziel and Vernon moved to a huge new lot off I-95 and turned their fans into customers. With inventory ranging from antique Ford Model Ts to luxury Rolls-Royces, Ted Vernon Specialty Autos now claims to be Florida's largest classic car store.
Yet the reality behind the reality show is largely unknown to even its most loyal fans. Away from the cameras, Vernon and Ziel have been deadlocked in a divorce case so bitter he now disputes they were ever married in the first place. In court filings, she speaks of "suffering in silence for over 16 years" at the hands of an abusive and deeply manipulative husband.
