Ford F1 For Sale

Gateway Classic Cars sold my Porsche and shipped it to California. I was very pleased with their prompt service.

I would like to take a moment of your collective time to share with the all of you an unbelievable experience that your Business Development Manager in Houston, Texas created from my 5 year old Grandson, Grayson Smith and myself on August 10 while visiting your place of business.

Earlier in the day, my wife, daughter and two other grandsons (2 and 3 weeks) headed out for breakfast to celebrate Grayson’s 5th birthday. As a warmup present he received from my wife, Lee and myself, subscriptions and samples to Streetrodder and Classic Truck magazines. With that he asked, “Pop can we go look at some hotrods somewhere today?” Coincidentally I had seen your cars and coffee event on the local street calendar, made a call to your Houston office and inquired about coming out for a look. We were welcomed to come out.

Upon our arrival, Mr. James Stanley greeted us and welcomed Grayson and myself to take our time and look around. James asked Grayson about his interest and likes in hotrods and Grayson responded that he was there to look for a birthday outing. Mr. Stanley took it upon himself to essentially construct a “birthday bag” for Grayson full of classic car magazines, keychains, suckers, flashlights and decals. Needless to say Grayson and I both were thrilled, so much so, we borrowed a space in the middle of your showroom, sat down and went through each piece together. I have to tell you the magazines are most likely his favorites. Over the next 2 hours or so, we moved quickly from one car to the next and often back to a car visited earlier. Grayson knows his cars and was spot on with most until we got to the Volkswagens, about which he commented “Pop what is that?”. Clearly he was having fun.

We wound down the visit with the conclusion that Grayson should have a Dodge Charger for college and red would be his color choice.

Please understand we are not new to this. Today Grayson tinkers with me on my 34 Ford and now on my 52 Chieftain. I decided when he was born that he should have the opportunity to understand a bygone era and participate in the same if so inclined.

The amount of attention bestowed on us by Mr. Stanley and the greetings from others in your Houston operation is beyond welcoming and impressive. You have a tremendous individual in Mr. Stanley as part of your organization and I wanted to make sure that I both thank him and you all are made aware of his personable efforts.

As mentioned, I have a couple of classics but my next purchase and/or sale consultation will be through your organization. Based on our recent experience with Gateway there would be no reason to do otherwise.

My sincerest thanks to Mr. Stanley for making Grayson’s 5th birthday a hit. We read those magazines together constantly and talk about them when visiting by phone.

Very best regards,

I would like to thank Gateway Classic Cars and their team at the Indianapolis showroom for making the whole process of purchasing our 1932 Chevy Confederate Sedan fun and exciting. Since I was a little boy playing with my hot wheels, I always dreamed about having a hot rod of my very own. When my wife and I were first dating we had also talked about one day have a car that we could enjoy with our family and friends. I would often go on the Internet and search for the ideal classic car. I found a few cars that were interesting, but nothing really stood out as the perfect car for us. After years of looking, we finally found the perfect car at Gateway Classic Cars. The next morning I called Gateway and spoke with a sales rep by the name of Bobby Huber. Since my wife and I were new to the whole process, I had plenty of questions. Bobby gave me a back round on Gateway Classic Cars and answered all my questions. My conversation with Bobby made me feel confident that I was working with the right people. Bobby was able to finalize the sale with me and even helped me find a reputable shipping company to deliver my 1932 Chevy to my door. My wife and I couldn't wait to see the car so we drove over 700 miles to see the car and meet the team. When we arrived at the Indianapolis Showroom they were ready and waiting for us. My wife could not stop taking pictures. The selection of cars there made my wife and I feel like we were at a car show. In the past month, we purchased two brand new 2013 cars. My wife had made a comment to me that buying the 32 Chevy was easier than the other two cars. The process could not have gone smoother. Once again, I would like to thank Gateway Classic Cars for letting that little 8 year old boy so many years ago know that sometimes dreams do come true.

I received your check this afternoon and just want to say, Thank You for your help. In this time of a very hot classic car market and a lot of unscrupulous classic car dealers it is very refreshing and reassuring to deal with people like you and your fine company, Gateway Classic Cars. I am not a dealer nor a collector. I bought this Cadillac because I always wanted a 60's Cadillac Convertible. I am going to drive it and have fun with it. It was a pleasure doing business with your Company. If I ever get in the market for another classic car I will not hesitate for a minute to do business with you.
