5 years ago today, GKR Motor Cars officially began.
At the time, we had no idea exactly what GKR would become. We just knew we wanted to build incredible cars, do things our own way, and create something we could be proud of.
5 years later, we’ve built cars we once only dreamed about building, met some incredible people, made plenty of mistakes, learned even more, and continued pushing GKR further than we originally imagined.
Somewhere along the way, GKR also became more than a shop.
It became a brand.
And maybe the best example of that is something that wasn’t even an idea on day one: GKR Paddock Club.
Soon, the first owners will be moving into their own garage condos carrying the GKR name. A place built around the same passion for cars and the community around them that started all of this five years ago.
That’s pretty surreal to think about.
But one thing hasn’t changed: we still get excited about cars.
The details. The problem solving. The first drive. And especially that moment when a finished car rolls out of the shop looking nothing like the car that originally rolled in.
To every client who trusted us with their car, every person who has worked alongside us, every company we’ve partnered with, and everyone who has followed along with the builds. Thank you!
5 years down.
And somehow, it still feels like we’re just getting started.
*Just a few pics through the years but look at the date on the quote. Tyler received that daily quote the day before launching GKR motor cars 5 years ago. Serendipitous much? We think so!
