Trophy Motors

Trophy Motors is an independent dealer at 4575 State Highway 46 West in New Braunfels, Texas.

The company also has a trailer business under the Trophy Trailers name. It is independent and is not affiliated with Classic Cars Arena.

Who runs it and how long it has been around

The Better Business Bureau profile lists Jerry Fernandes as owner and gives a business start date of February 1998. A start date is a registration date, not proof of when the dealership began selling classic cars, so we do not give a founding year.

Buying from Trophy Motors

The website has a classic car financing page, and it also has separate financing and lease-to-own pages for its trailers. The terms are not published, so ask for the lender, the rate and any fees in writing. The site does not describe consignment, shipping or an inspection program. With older vehicles like these, ask for the title status and VIN, check how much of each car is original, and consider an independent inspection. Our guide to buying from a classic car dealer lays out those checks.
