Paramount Classic Cars

Paramount Classic Cars is a classic, muscle and exotic car dealer in Hickory, North Carolina, with its own service center, a consignment program and a storage facility. It is independent of Classic Cars Arena and is not affiliated with it.

Who they are

The dealer's Why Buy page says the company has "decades of experience serving North Carolina" and offers classic cars, American muscle and exotic performance cars, working with clients across the country. The site does not name an owner or give a founding year for the classic car unit, and the contact page uses an email domain belonging to the parent Paramount Automotive group. Those experience claims are the company's own.

Buying from Paramount

• Inspection: the dealer says every vehicle gets a multi-point inspection by its own ASE certified technicians before it is marketed.
• Trade-ins and financing: staff will assess a trade, arrange financing and help with shipping, according to the site.
• Car finder: a form lets you describe the car you want and receive an email when a match arrives.
• Service center: an in-house shop handles mechanical work, fabrication, cosmetic work and detailing.

These are the dealer's descriptions of its process. Ask to see the inspection report for any car you are considering, and compare the paperwork against the car. If you are shopping in the state, see these classic cars for sale around the state.

Consignment and storage

Paramount takes cars on consignment. The site says the process starts with a multi-point inspection, followed by a professional detail, a photo shoot, a video and a written description before the car is promoted widely. It says consigned cars sit in climate-controlled storage while for sale. Commission and fee terms are not published, so request them in writing. Our explainer on how classic car consignment works covers the typical questions. Separately, the dealer advertises a renovated, climate-controlled storage facility for classic, luxury and weekend cars, with no rates listed.

Reputation

The site has a testimonials page, which is the company's own selection. Look for recent third-party feedback before you commit to a purchase or leave a car on consignment.
