The Motivation
About Grand Touring
Grand Touring Enterprises was founded in 1987 by Chuck Wray. Over the past four decades, he has established himself as a world-class collection consultant and preservationist. Grand Touring's inception was fueled by the want to provide world-class service to the classic car market that went above and beyond the rest— focusing on not only preserving the history and prestige of these classics, but ensuring the driving experience is equally as spectacular and authentic.
Through the years, Grand Touring has developed into a team of like-minded individuals who share this passion for preservation and furthering the classic car community for generations to come.
With each commission, we set out to create a product that the original designers of these works would be proud of— with the goal of understanding the intention behind each design decision.
The Journey
Whether you hope to pursue lofty and lengthy goals of restoring a car to perfection or simply enhancing drivability while preserving the natural patina, there is often a “what do I do now?” feeling experienced once a project is complete. As the automotive world continues to evolve, the answer to this question does too. But with our insight and commitment to the classic car community, there’s no chance you’ll be left asking, “now what?”
At Grand Touring, our goal is to guide you through this journey— from defining your grand vision to tactfully fulfilling it.
