Dan Larson, Pickup/Delivery Specialist/Detail

I have been involved with cars since high school. My first project was a 1955 Chevrolet 2dr Post. Then I bought a 1957 Ford Pickup in a junkyard and went crazy with it: Sunburst Rose paint, tuck and roll interior, dodge lancer spinners, always liked trucks. I have also owned Corvettes since 1972. Jay talked me into a Boss 302 so the Corvette has to share garage space. I also raced sports cars for 10 years at BIR and Elkhart Lake. For the last 5 years I have been working at Unique after retiring from Kato Engineering. I enjoyed working on cars for years and now I work with cars again! I deliver and pickup cars for consignemnet and detail as well!

My father was an auto mechanic so I have been around cars my entire life. My work history is 40+ years in the motorcycle industry at the retail level and then for a manufacturer in Los Angeles, CA. I have been fortunate to have traveled all over the US and numerous countries all related to the motorcycle industry. After retiring I needed something to fill my time, I was introduced to Unique Classic Cars and it just seemed to be a good fit for me. I fill most of my days working on eBay listing and shipping parts. An occasional road trip comes along to pick up or deliver cars. It is great to see the staff at Unique working together to grow the business. I am honored to be a part of the Unique Classic Cars team.
