Anyone ever import a car from Canada?

Here's the deal.
I recently puchased a Mercedes,out of Alberta,Canada.I need to get the car here,and want to do it legitimately,if possible.
The car is a Euro car,with cereal number,saying it's one of those Canada,or europe only models,and techinically,not U.S. qualified.
Any of you guys ever import one like this? If so...,how? I have some ideas of ways to do it,but they would mess with the authenticity of the car on paper,which will hurt it's collectable value.I only intend to drive the car on occasion,but still would like regular registration on it for the state of Ct.
I keep getting different stories on the proper method of bringing the car here,from different people,and govt.agencies,and can't get the same story from two different people yet.
Anyone have any more insight on the matter?I've gone to a few govt.web sights but can't get the info for some reason.Everything I find points to having an import agency handle it.I just want to bring one meezly car in for myself to drive a few times a year in nice weather,and for personal use only,thats basically all.Any help from anyone,will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance
Nick
