Classic & Collectible Cars was established in 1982 in North Las Vegas by Larry Nicholl. Larry had recently retired after 22 years of military service in the US Air Force. Along with his four sons, he specialized in sale of classic Mustang parts, restoration and the sale of collector cars. This business grew and relocated to Las Vegas and became the most recognized and respected Mustang shop in Southern Nevada. In 1986, Larry sold the Mustang parts and restoration end of the business and began to focus primarily in the sales and appraising of all types of classic and special interest automobiles. He built a facility on Arville Street near Tropicana, to house the newly directed Classic & Collectible Cars. He continued to operate in this facility for several years until its sale of the building in the mid 1990s. By this time, his sons had left the business to pursue other interests and the shop had shrunk to a manageable, one man operation.
In 1997, Michael Nicholl proposed to take over the business and resurrect the Classic & Collectible Cars name. The focus would be same – to buy, sell and appraise classic and special interest automobiles. At the time, the internet was an emerging marketplace. Michael saw the opportunity to begin to market and sell collector cars in a new way. With an established reputation, Classic & Collectible Cars grew quickly, and at its height occupied a 15,000 square foot facility housing a 65 car inventory. In 2002, Larry purchased its last location on Sheridan Street. In July of 2013, we moved into our new showroom located at 3701 Sirius Avenue. This new facility features a bright showroom with lobby and offices. Today, Classic & Collectible Cars maintains a 15-20 car inventory and has enjoyed good sales even through today's challenging times.We have shifted our philosophy to a smaller more manageable inventory. This way, we can get to know every vehicle.
The Classic & Collectible Cars business philosophy has proved to be a solid one. That is offer quality collector cars at affordable, market competitive prices. Successful sales have been found in the $10,000 to $30,000 price bracket. The focus is to sell nice driver quality cars and not necessarily show cars.
