Graffiti USA Car Sales

Graffiti USA Car Sales is the vehicle sales arm of the Graffiti USA Classic Car Museum in Modesto, California. It sells classic cars directly and on consignment from 610 North 9th Street, the same address as the museum. The sales site describes itself as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. It is independent of Classic Cars Arena and is not affiliated with it.

Who they are

The About page says Graffiti USA Car Sales is a division of the museum, offering direct sales or consignment of classic vehicles. It names a small team: sales manager Charlie Fernandes, who is described as having more than 40 years in car sales, Tom Watling, a vintage car dealer and museum curator, Joe Pope in sales, a former GM dealer, and Carley Russell in sales, who is also the museum's executive director. The site says the sales team has over 50 years of combined experience. That is the organization's own claim. No founding year is published for the sales division.

How the business works

The home page calls the business "a trusted classic car consignment dealer in Modesto, CA," which is its own description. The Consign Your Car page says the sales team will help establish a value, use time-tested marketing and sales strategies and give guidance on cosmetic or mechanical improvements. No commission, fee schedule or contract terms are published, so ask for the details in writing. For background, see classic car consignment fees.

What it sells

The current inventory page, dated October 23, 2026, showed 12 of 15 vehicles. The examples listed are all American models from 1970 or earlier. They included a 1965 Pontiac GTO project at $67,500, a 1928 Ford Roadster with ghost flames at $36,500, a 1940 Chevrolet one-and-a-half-ton pickup at $39,500, a 1956 Ford pickup at $48,500, a 1950 Buick Super hardtop at $39,500, a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 at $15,500, a 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood sedan at $11,900 and a 1930 Ford Model A coupe at $11,900. A new-build 1934 Chevrolet five-window coupe was listed at $39,000. These are asking prices on the dealer's site and may change.

Buying and visiting

The site says it serves Modesto and surrounding areas within a 500-mile radius, and it asks visitors to call to book an appointment. Hours are not published. The museum is a separate attraction at the same address with its own website. The site does not mention financing, shipping or inspections, so ask about each. For general advice, browse classic cars for sale around the state to compare similar cars from other sellers.

Reputation

No BBB profile was found for the sales division. A business aggregator reports a 4.7 Google rating from about 130 reviewers for the museum, but that reflects visitors to the museum rather than car buyers, so it should not be read as a rating of the sales operation. Do your usual checks on title, VIN and condition, and consider an independent inspection.
