Hilary Duff Recommedation

“When first searching for our classic dream car, Grand Wagoneer by Classic Gentleman popped right up. I was so happy to see all of those beautiful options and the passion that goes into restoring and preserving each Grand Wagoneer. Getting to know GK in the process of purchasing “Sweetie” has been a true delight! Always extending himself to make me feel comfortable and knowledgeable about my purchase. He loves what he does and it shows. Forever cruising in our dream car, thanks GK!”

– Hilary Duff | Beverly Hills, CA

“After searching high and low for my holy grail, a 1984 Nordic Green Grand Wagoneer, GK not only found it for me, I was fully involved in the restoration process. His communication and attention to detail were fantastic and the Wagoneer delivered exceeded my expectations. He is truly a class act and I look forward to working with him for my next purchase.”

– Roy D. Chapin IV | Napa, California
(Grandson of former Chairman of the Board & CEO of American Motors/Jeep Corporation)

“Ok, I’m an Auto Dealer (a picky one at that) and have been on the hunt to replace one of our Cape Cod vehicles for over a year. Watching the market, bidding on Grand Wagoneers now and then, but never found the one. Found a great one at a great dealer/restorer who was on the same page as me. Honest, smart, transparent and who really cares about the sales process, the customer and the vehicles that he sells. Grand Wagoneer by Classic Gentlemen made complete transaction a pleasure, just like I do at my stores. No stones left unturned and are your ready…under promised and over delivered. This vehicle is superb in every way and I appreciate the multiple emails and conversations to make sure all parties are happy. Nice work and TYVM! I’ll send a beach pic this spring!”

– Marc Garvey, Garvey Auto Group | Queensbury NY

“I’ve owned a few vintage cars and went through the whole procurement process and separately the restoration process. Never have I encountered a better service and quality standard than I experienced with The Classic Gentleman. Our 1991 Spinnaker Blue Wagoneer was shipped all the way from Gk’s shop in NY to our home in Seattle. It arrived as a flawless specimen, fresh from restoration. They went over and beyond detailing this car to perfection. We are so happy that we did it with the Classic Gentleman!”

– Bill McComb | Seattle, WA

“I have never had such an agreeable, pleasant and problem free transaction as I did with you purchasing a Grand. I am convinced it was because you love what you do and each sale is like you parting with an old friend, a breeder parting with a puppy or dare I say sending a child to college or out into the world. The video of your Dad’s Wagoneer in the snow is priceless and says it all! You know the personality of each of your vehicles and are completely transparent. You have a very engaging manner and I wish I needed a 3rd Wagoneer (one at home and one at the beach house) so we can talk again. Your check in call after delivery was perfect and I have no doubt you will call in a couple of weeks to see how your baby is doing! I have never named a vehicle so this is a first! Clare is the name I have chosen in honor of your first grandchild born the day I purchased the Wagoneer!”

– Richardson Merriman | Nantucket

“It is all that you promised! Your guys did a wonderful job with the color change to white! I know, it is 32 years old, but your cosmetics, interior, paint, and mechanical work is wonderful. Your team did a great job frequently communicating with us and sending pictures throughout the restoration process. Everyone was great too deal with and so available and accommodating. Also, your ability to make it easy for us to make changes like lighting upgrades, key fob controls, security, etc. was greatly appreciated and such an easy experience. Now that we have it, yes it’s 32 yrs old, but she really, really looks great and not even 1/10th her age. Mechanically, everything exceeds our discussions and expectations. We would absolutely recommend you and your team to anyone wanting a GW they can rely on and be very proud of!”

– Bill & Lynda Hubbard | Savannah, GA

“My partner and I are so thrilled to have purchased a Grand Wagoneer from Grand Wagoner by Classic Gentleman. When I was a young boy in Northern Michigan, my family had a Grand Wagoneer. It was the first “SUV” we had as a family and I had so many great memories of childhood and cruising the shoreline of Northern Michigan in our family Grand. As an adult, I couldn’t wait to own one. Every time we have seen one in Nantucket, the Hamptons, or our beautiful spot in Northern Michigan, we have dreamt of the chance to have one for our family. Thank you GK for making this possible! You are a consummate professional and we are most grateful for your honesty and knowledge in helping us find a Grand to make our own family memories in. All of our best to you and the team for the masterful work!”

– Justin Klamerus MD | Bloomfield Hills, MI

I could not recommend Classic Gentlemen, and GK in particular more hardily.  The experience was an absolute pleasure, and I could not be happier with the outcome.  The personal touch is highly appreciated.

– Geno Germano | Naples, FL

“GK, I received the Wagoneer last evening and you did an excellent job on the restoration. It was exactly as you described and I’m looking forward to driving it between the city and my farm outside of town.”

– Robert B. Geddie, Jr | Montgomery, Alabama

“Thanks for every thing you did throughout the build process. You have been an absolute pleasure to work with. The Gentleman in your company name could not be more appropriate.”

– William L. Horr, Jr. | Vero Beach, Florida

“GK, Thank you for a wonderful friendly buying experience.
You were very helpful and patient with all my many questions about what to expect and the restoration process. Knowing you has been a real joy.”

– Greg Goodrich – Hilton Head, SC

“Stunning and amazing are just a few words that we could use to describe the new addition to our family. The minute she rolled out of the car hauler she shined and brightened our day. GK and his Classic Gentleman crew are true artisans. The attention to detail is amazing! GK loves bringing these classics back to life and it shows with his excitement and the quality of work performed. In today’s busy world GK takes the time to update you on the restoration every step of the way. To top it off, GK personally road tested it to make sure everything works and probably to say goodbye before heading off to their new home. Thank you, thank you, thank you GK!”

– Steve and Becki Layne, Canada

“Working with GK on the purchase of our beautiful ’85 Wagoneer was an exceptional experience throughout. He is beyond knowledgeable, professional, efficient, kind and a true gentleman. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.”

The Kerr Family at Chautauqua Lake

“GK is exactly the kind of guy you want to find when buying a Grand Wagoneer”

– Kiel James Patrick | Rhode Island

“GK, The Grand really is impeccable inside and out. The Spinnaker Blue Metallic color is beautiful & the interior is beautiful. I’d put this color up against any S class Mercedes, or an Aston Martin even. We might need his and hers, not sure I will get to drive this one much. Thanks for everything… truly has been a pleasure dealing with you on this and looking forward to more dealings.”

– Kip Meadows | Rocky Mount, NC

“Katie is thrilled with her Spinnaker! We took a spin after dinner and we both were overwhelmed with nostalgia. Patina is perfect and the color is a 10 plus! Hopefully it holds up for the long haul because she said she wants to keep it forever. Our 16 year old is also thrilled with it.”

– Robert H. Holton | Aspen, CO

“A call to GK turned out to be an incredibly informative discussion with no sale pressure applied… I was able to do a close inspection and test drive (Flew in from Southern California)… I told GK I needed some time to think about the decision and once again, no pressure whatsoever from GK. After sleeping on the decision, I pulled the trigger. All in all a wonderful experience with my 1987 Grand Wagoneer purchase and the help, coaching, and guidance of GK. It is very gratifying to see this behavior in today’s world and I now fully appreciate the “Classic Gentleman” title!”

– Todd Smith | Long Beach, CA

“From my wife’s first spin around the neighborhood, our “88 Spinnaker puts a smile on everyone’s face. The color is fantastic and it’s a great looking car. I really enjoyed working with GK who was extremely communicative throughout the process and a pleasure to work with. GK makes you feel like family!”

– Leigh & Gabrielle Cohen | Nantucket, MA

The Kerr Family

“Impressively professional buying experience with GK”

– David Scaife | Pennsylvania

“My experience with GK and Classic Gentleman was flawless from beginning to end. From the first phone call, I felt confident that GK was not simply interested in a quick transaction – he’s truly passionate about these vehicles and wants every client to feel the same. My whole family loves our ’85 Wagoneer and can’t get enough. And as importantly for me, GK made the purchase process almost as enjoyable as the vehicle. Whether you’re a classic car guru or a novice like me, I can’t imagine you can do better than Classic Gentleman.”

– Dave Dawson | Charleston, SC

“I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Grand Wagoneer by Classic Gentleman. I had a lot of questions and GK spent the time to walk me through everything I needed to know to pick the right vehicle. Unfortunately, I had to get GK’s help with parts for a small accident I was involved in after the sale. GK went above and beyond the call of duty to help me before and after the sale. I am 100% satisfied and would recommend him to a friend.”

– Jim Bennett | Greensboro, North Carolina

“I bought a 1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer from Grand Wagoneer by Classic Gentlemen at the end of 2019. I worked with GK Kerr who is the owner and he was a pleasure to work with. I bought the car sight unseen and upon delivery the car proved to be exactly as GK described. If you are looking to work with an honest, professional car dealer I cannot recommend Grand Wagoneer by Classic Gentlemen enough.”

– David and Debbie Smith | Grayton Beach, FL

“Couldn’t be more pleased. The 85’ is just what I wanted. Drives great, fuel injection make all the difference. No rattles, shock are great, brakes are nice and tight. Great improvement over my 88’ model.”

“GK Kerr is most certainly a classic gentleman. He is friendly, fair and knowledgeable. From our first phone call to the day my Waggy completed her 1,100 mile journey from Jamestown, NY to the Jacksonville, FL area GK was always available and kept me completely informed.
