The story of Olivia’s Classics began long before its official founding in 2013. It all started with Olivia Smith, a young girl who seemed to have motor oil in her veins. Growing up, Olivia spent countless hours in her father’s garage, tinkering with old cars and learning the nuances of vintage engines. Her father, a seasoned mechanic with a deep love for classic American muscle cars, passed down not only his mechanical skills but also his profound appreciation for the history and craftsmanship behind these timeless vehicles.

As a teenager, Olivia restored her first car—a rusty ’67 Mustang—transforming it from a pile of metal into a gleaming, road-ready masterpiece. This labor of love ignited a passion in her that would shape her future. After college, Olivia decided to turn her hobby into a full-time pursuit. She traveled across the country, attending car shows, auctions, and private collections, searching for rare finds and hidden gems. Each car she acquired carried a story—a piece of automotive history, a unique customization, or a previous owner’s cherished memories—that Olivia felt compelled to preserve and share.

In 2013, Olivia took the leap and opened Olivia’s Classics in Holden, MO. Her vision was clear: create a place where classic car enthusiasts could not only buy and sell cars but also connect with others who shared their passion. The early days were filled with excitement and hard work as Olivia and a small team of dedicated car lovers built a diverse inventory that would appeal to both seasoned collectors and first-time buyers.

But Olivia’s Classics was never just about the cars. From the start, Olivia was committed to providing an exceptional customer experience. She wanted every visitor to feel like a part of the Olivia’s Classics family, offering personalized service, honest advice, and genuine enthusiasm for helping people find their dream car. This approach quickly set Olivia’s Classics apart from other dealerships and built a loyal customer base.

As the business grew, so did the community around it. Olivia’s Classics became a hub for car shows, charity events, and meetups. Enthusiasts from all walks of life came together to share stories, exchange tips, and celebrate their shared love of classic cars. Olivia’s dedication to fostering this community helped the dealership flourish, attracting attention from vintage car clubs and enthusiasts far beyond Missouri.

Today, Olivia’s Classics is recognized as a trusted destination for anyone looking to buy, sell, or simply admire classic cars. With a carefully curated inventory and a reputation for quality and integrity, the dealership remains true to Olivia’s original vision. It’s a place where history comes alive, where each car tells a story, and where customers become lifelong friends.

Olivia continues to lead Olivia’s Classics with the same passion and dedication that started it all, ensuring that every classic car finds a home where it will be cherished and appreciated. At Olivia’s Classics, it’s not just about selling cars; it’s about building relationships, preserving history, and sharing the joy of driving a piece of the past.
