Company Philosophy

Matt deGarmo - President

Matthew L. deGarmo Ltd. Classic Motorcars was founded in 1984 with a very simple objective: to offer automobile collectors and connoisseurs superior quality classic and vintage cars, and to do it with an unwavering commitment to personalized service and professional integrity.

Since our inception, we have been averaging sales of 30-40 cars per year. Certainly a modest number, but one which allows us to maintain an extremely high level of service with each transaction. It is not our goal to ever be a volume business, rather, to stay small so we can maintain an extraordinary level of attention to detail. Simply put, our credo is quality, not quantity.

There have been a few changes since our founding in 1984: our services now include investment consultation, restoration management, financing, appraisals and storage. What hasn’t changed is our commitment to understanding and fulfilling our client’s needs. Indeed, what’s been most gratifying over the years is that a substantial, and still growing, part of our business is from repeat and referral customers. Their satisfaction with how we do business keeps them coming back to do business with deGarmo Ltd. again and again, (See the “Clients Comments” Page)
