Pedigree Motorcars

Pedigree Motorcars is an independent classic car dealer in Delray Beach, in southern Palm Beach County, Florida. Founder Ken Baker started the business in 2011, and it has worked from the same office suite on East Linton Boulevard ever since. The company describes itself as a specialist in "the finest affordable classic cars," and its inventory history shows a clear taste: Land Rover Defenders, 1970s Cadillacs, and older Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Rolls-Royce and Porsche models, mostly from the 1970s through the 1990s. Cars are shown by appointment only.

Who runs Pedigree Motorcars

Pedigree Motorcars is a small, owner-led business. Ken Baker signs the About page as founder, and the company's vehicle listings ask buyers to contact him directly. On that page, Baker says he has spent more than 30 years in the luxury car trade, working with BMW, Mercedes-Benz, DeLorean, Rolls-Royce and Bentley, and that he was named sales executive of the year with Rolls-Royce and Bentley. His public professional profile also lists a stint as general manager of DeLorean Motor Company Florida from 2009 to 2011, just before Pedigree opened.

The Better Business Bureau gives May 19, 2011 as the business start date, and the company's website was live by October of that year, already at its current address and phone number. The original slogan was "We don't sell boring cars." Today the site uses "Making Classic Cars Great Again" and refers to the business as Pedigree Motorcars of the Palm Beaches.

What Pedigree sells

The company's stated aim is to keep classic car ownership within reach: its About page says classic cars "should not be dictated by your budget." Its inventory archive, which runs to roughly 300 vehicles, shows where that philosophy has landed over the years:

• Land Rover Defender is the single largest category, with 90, 110 and 130 models from the late 1980s to the early 2000s.
• Cadillac follows closely, led by 1976 Eldorados, plus Coupe DeVilles, Broughams, Allantes and a 1953 Series 62.
• European luxury and sports cars, including Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar XJ6 and Vanden Plas saloons, Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, Silver Spur and Silver Wraith models, Bentley, and Porsche 911s.

In early October 2026 the site listed nine cars for sale: four Defenders priced from $37,500 to $65,000, a 1978 Jeep CJ-5 at $25,000, and a 1982 Corvette, a 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet and two Rolls-Royces offered on a call-for-price basis. Recent sold listings ranged from a $19,900 Cadillac Allante to a 1997 Defender 110 at $168,500, though most sat between about $25,000 and $85,000.

How the business works

Pedigree mainly sells cars it has selected itself. The company says it looks for cars that are original, unmodified and low in miles. It also says each car is inspected and serviced by the shops it uses before it is listed, covering fluids, belts, hoses, brakes, exhaust, lights, switches, air conditioning, cooling, tires and controls. According to the company, that work is documented, and every car is then driven, detailed and photographed. Listings include the VIN, stock number, mileage and notes on history and recent service.

A car locator service is also available: the company says it hears from buyers and sellers daily and can help track down a specific model. Its early website also offered to consign or find a buyer for an owner's classic. The current site has no consignment page, so owners who want to sell should ask directly whether Pedigree will buy the car outright, consign it or broker it.

Buying from Pedigree

Because cars are shown by appointment, the first step is a call to set up a private viewing. Pedigree says it welcomes and encourages inspections before purchase, which is worth taking up, especially for an older Defender or a decades-old Rolls-Royce. Financing is available through J.J. Best, the classic car lender, and the site's finance page names a contact there. Shipping is not mentioned on the site, so out-of-state buyers should ask how delivery is handled.

Reputation

Pedigree Motorcars has traded under the same name and from the same Delray Beach address since 2011, which counts for something in a field where small dealers come and go. The Better Business Bureau rates it A+; it is not BBB accredited, and the BBB profile showed no complaints in the past three years and no customer reviews at the time of writing. As with any dealer, judge each car on its own merits: check the title and VIN, read the service records, and arrange an independent inspection.
