Who are we?

Classic Cars of South Carolina was incorporated in the early 1990’s. Prior to that time we were Carolina Classic Cars. We are a family owned and operated business. We have always been located in the North Western part of South Carolina near Greenville. We are physically located on the Frontage Road on the North side of Interstate 385 approximately 20 minutes East of Greenville, S. C. We are approximately two and one half hours North East of Atlanta, Georgia and 2 hours South West of Charlotte North Carolina.

Classic Cars of S.C., Inc. and Carolina Classic Cars has sold hundreds and hundreds of collector cars over the years in approximately three fourths of the states in the United States and more than a dozen foreign countries. Like so many businesses, Carolina Classic Cars was the result of a part time hobby that turned into a full time business. The Ayers family started collecting and restoring vintage cars as a part time hobby in the late 50’s, then progressed to a time consuming hobby on a very large scale in the mid 60’s. This hobby progressed to a full time business in the early 70’s and has been in continuous operation since that time. We also operated a full restoration shop, Carolina Classic Car Restorations, from the mid 1980’s until the early 1990’s. We finally discovered that it was more fun to buy and sell than to restore. The Ayers family’s present hobby is collecting antique toys, mostly pedal toys of all types from pedal cars and tractors to pedal boats, airplanes, bicycles, wagons and tricycles and just about any other toys that children played with in the past.

We have bought and sold collector cars of all types from antique and classic, to special interest and muscle, to sports and exotic. I guess you could say if it’s old and has wheels, we’ll by and sell it. The oldest car we ever owned was a 1904 Franklin. The Ayers family still owns a 1908 Maxwell Model NC Doctors Roadster that we purchased in 1966 from the original owners estate in Spartanburg, South Carolina. This was the 72nd automobile ever registered in Spartanburg County and is the only car if of its type known to exist anywhere in the world.

Today Classic Cars of S. C. specializes in southern collector cars in need of restoration work. We do handle some cars that are ready to drive anywhere. We often say that "we run an old car adoption agency and we just like to find our children happy homes." Give us a call and see if we have that special car you’re looking for.
