Gateway Classic Cars Detroit, Michigan 48120 Gateway Classic Cars has six stores in the Continental United States and on every continent except Antarctica. I knew that anyone this big would have Gateway Classic Cars has six stores in the Continental United States and on every continent except Antarctica. I knew that anyone this big would have a selection of vehicles I was looking for. I also surmised that they did not attain this stature without having a business plan for success. After scanning their inventory, I found a vehicle that matched what I was looking for at the Detroit location. The staff was professional, courteous, and treated me with respect. They answered my questions and gave me a choice of at least six transport companies. I chose the transport I wanted, and they took care of the rest of the process. My 1965 Ford Shelby GT 350 Fastback Tribute arrived in a timely manner with no problems. I would recommend that anyone looking for a classic vehicle to go to their website and scan their large inventory. More
Selling my GTO on consignment was seamless and benifical Using Gateway Classic Cars consignment sales service was the most efficient and cost effective way to sell one of my classic vehicle. Before putting Using Gateway Classic Cars consignment sales service was the most efficient and cost effective way to sell one of my classic vehicle. Before putting the vehicle up for sale, they recommended that I have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic. I had one minor repair that need to be done to increase the overall appeal of the car, which resulted in a higher selling price The Sales staff research well and find out what other buyers are paying for the similar type of vehicle I was selling. They also scheduled for me a third party detailer to come to the showroom and prepare my vehicle for market. Their method of marketing produced tested and proven unparalleled results; better than any auction competitor. Gateway offers a fully integrated marketing strategy, with world wide reach. Before committing to Gateway, I did some research and found out they have aWorldwide buyer audience, Gateway Classic Cars has a superior industry reputation and has been in the industry for over 16 years. They posted between 30-50 high resolution pictures and high definition video with music of the cars era and a complete description of my vehicle was posted on gatewayclassiccars.com web site which gets over1.6 million hits a month world wide. They also promoted on numerious other niche web sites and periodicals were also use to highlight my vehicle. Another HUGE benefit to me was my vehicle Did NOT sit on a lot to display, where it can get scratched, damaged, driven to on lunch by non serious buyers...etc! The vehicle was displayed in an all indoor, climate controlled secured showroom. They qualify all potential buyers and handled all aspects of the sale for me. Gateway even offered financing for my buyer. I did not have to deal with strangers coming over to your home at weird hours of the day or night, sitting around waiting for someone to show up to look at my car, if they even came. I was not interrupted by phone calls or texts at all hours. I did not have to answer endless e-mails or send pictures. I did not miss any calls from serious buyers because the sales staff at Gateway were handling these for me. The whole process was seamless. More

I spent many h To whom it may concern: My wife and I decided a few weeks back that we were interested in purchasing an antique and/or classic car. I spent many hours in reviewing past results of Barrett-Jackson and Mecum auctions to begin to gain an overall understanding of antique and/or classic cars. As an original owner of a 1970 Corvette, I was leaning toward purchasing an older Corvette Sting Ray, but I also began gaining an appreciation of street rods during this process. As part of my research, I also came across Gateway Classic Cars and which has a URL of www.gatewayclassiccars.com. I am very happy that I did for they have a great selection of antique and/or classic cars for you to review and choose from and which are located at six showrooms in Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Louisville, St. Louis and Tampa. While on a trip back to my birth State of Indiana, I visited both the Chicago (located in Tinley Park, IL) and Louisville (located in Memphis, IN) showrooms and was treated with great respect and service by Ryan Ellis of the Chicago showroom and Dennis Severs of the Louisville showroom. Dennis is a delight to meet and is a fantastic salesperson. When I locked on a 1934 Ford Tudor Sedan that I wanted to purchase, I felt Dennis handled the situation in an excellent fashion, inasmuch as I felt he represented the interests of both the seller and the buyer. Never did I feel that he did not have my best interests at heart, but nor did I feel that he was undercutting the interests of the seller and which in the end made me trust him. In other words, I believe I am, in part, a very proud owner of a 1934 Ford Tudor Sedan "street rod" due to the professionalism demonstrated and/or provided by Dennis. FBW of Marana, AZ More

I purchased a Classic Cougar from Gateway Classic Cars recently, WHAT AN EXPERIANCE!!! Probably the best customer service I have received in a while. They seemed short staffed (only ran by two employees. recently, WHAT AN EXPERIANCE!!! Probably the best customer service I have received in a while. They seemed short staffed (only ran by two employees. Only a young lady in the office and the salesman Brandon) Everything went very smooth and easy. Quick and simple. I received my title less than 15 days after I purchased my car. Shipping was set up through the company, the car arrived within the week of purchasing. I could have gone and picked the car up myself but the price they quoted me for shipping was just too good to pass up. I would defiantly recommend this company to anyone in passing. I have my whole car club raving about my new Cougar and their efforts to make the whole transition a walk in the park!!! More
Talked with sales rep Gary Nelson and said i was going to come and see the vehicle. Upon my arrival the rep says, oh i didn't think you were coming. Drove 2.5 hours to look at a 1955 ford customline and pote come and see the vehicle. Upon my arrival the rep says, oh i didn't think you were coming. Drove 2.5 hours to look at a 1955 ford customline and potentially buy it. Go out and look at the car it wouldn't start. Then after getting it started I ask if we can take it outside for a better look. It was not a well lit area. The rep says we dont test drive or move the cars.They didn't even have the row of lights on above the car. Rep says i can turn on the lights in which he never did. There was plenty of oil under and around the car. I tried looking under the vehicle but didn't feel like soaking up all the oil. I said I am suppose to buy a car I cant drive or see move or get a better look in the sun light. Rep told me most of their business is done without the customer ever seeing the car in person. This was Gateway Classic Cars in Tinely Park Ill. Completely disappointed. Im suppose to pay $17000 for a car I don't know even if it drives, turns, shifts properly. More
