Oswalt Motor Company

Oswalt Motor Company is a used vehicle dealership in Northport, Alabama, that stocks a notable share of classic pickups and older cars. When we checked, its inventory listed 15 vehicles, most of them from 1939 through 1997. It is an independent business and is not affiliated with Classic Cars Arena.

Who they are

Its About page does not name an owner or give a founding year. The Better Business Bureau profile lists Ryan Oswalt as owner and describes the company as a used car dealer "specializing in classic cars and trucks." The BBB shows a business start date of January 1, 2016, but that is a record date rather than a stated founding story, so we do not present it as the year the business was founded. The site's staff page lists a service technician.

What they sell

Many of the listings are Chevrolet and GMC trucks. The inventory page included a 1971 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne, a 1972 Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne, K10 Silverados from 1983, 1984 and 1985, a 1985 C30 Silverado, a 1987 Chevrolet Blazer K5 Silverado and a 1955 Chevrolet 3100 Apache. Cars included a 1939 Ford Deluxe Coupe, a 1959 Cadillac Series 62 two-door hardtop, a 1963 Ford Thunderbird coupe and a 1967 Buick Skylark. There was also a 1993 GMC Typhoon Turbo, a 1997 Ford F-250 HD and one late model, a 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4. The pages we read did not display prices, so contact the dealer for current asking prices and availability.

Buying from them

Oswalt sells from its own inventory. The website offers an online credit application and a loan calculator. It also has a trade-in valuation form and a Vehicle Finder request for buyers who want a specific model located. The site does not describe shipping, a consignment program or pre-purchase inspection policies, so ask about those directly, especially if you are buying from another state. Before you commit to any older vehicle, read buying from a classic car dealer, which covers titles, inspections and paperwork.

Reputation

The BBB rates Oswalt Motor Company A+. The company is not BBB accredited. The dealer's testimonials page carries excerpts from Google reviews, although it does not show how many reviews exist or an overall score. As with any dealer, check the title and VIN, ask for a walk-around video and consider an independent inspection.
