Morrison Motor Company

Morrison Motor Company, which trades online as Morrison Motor Cars, is a family-owned dealership at 1170 Old Charlotte Road in Concord, North Carolina, a short drive north of Charlotte. According to the dealership's own history, the business began in 1970, when Mr. Morrison came home from the Vietnam War and started selling special-interest cars with his brother. It now describes itself as one of the most active buyers and sellers of collector cars, trucks and Harley-Davidson motorcycles in the Carolinas.

How the business works

Morrison is primarily a traditional dealer: it buys cars, holds them in inventory and sells them to retail customers. That means a car you see listed is generally on the lot in Concord and can be inspected there. The company's site also lists consignment sales among its services, so it is worth asking about the status of any specific car and who the seller is before you commit.

What Morrison sells

The stock leans toward American performance and collector vehicles. The company names Corvettes, Mustangs and Camaros as its core, along with muscle cars, classic trucks, SUVs and Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Inventory is mixed in age: the dealership also carries some late-model performance cars alongside its older classics, so check the model year of anything you are interested in. The company's site has described a stock of more than 100 vehicles, though the count changes constantly and the number listed on classified sites is smaller. Shoppers who want a specific model can browse classic Corvettes for sale here as well.

Buying from Morrison

The dealership lists several services on its website:

• Financing options for buyers.
• Shipping for out-of-area purchases.
• Trade-ins and cash offers for people who want to sell a car to the dealership.
• A car finder service for buyers looking for something specific.

As with any dealer purchase, ask for the VIN, title status and service records, and consider an independent inspection, especially on a long-distance deal. A useful checklist is in our guide on what to check before you buy.

Selling to or through Morrison

Because the company says it is an active buyer of collector cars, trucks and motorcycles, owners can contact the dealership about a trade-in or an outright sale. Terms for any consignment arrangement are not published in detail, so ask the dealership directly about fees, length of agreement and who pays for reconditioning.

Reputation

The company has operated under the Morrison name for decades by its own account, and the Better Business Bureau has had a file on the business since December 2000. The BBB lists the company at 1170 Old Charlotte Road with an A+ rating and notes it is not BBB accredited. The BBB page shows one complaint closed in the last three years and no customer reviews posted. We did not find enough review data on other platforms to summarize it, so read recent customer feedback yourself before buying.
