Ultimate Classic Cars

Dennis Cahill and his wife Shirley are classic car enthusiasts, which steered them in the business of replicating classic cars. They operated their classic car manufacturing business in Fort Worth; but when they decided to move it to Boerne, they reached out to the UTSA Small Business Development Center for assistance. The Cahills received assistance from Senior Business Advisor, David Baenziger at the SBDC.

With David’s help, the Cahills refined their business plan and financial projections resulting in their funding approval for the property in Boerne and for the business move to Boerne. They were able to add the equipment and staff needed for the new location.

The Cahills also met with Crystal Darby at the SA SBDC who assisted with refining their marketing message, focusing their target markets and using social media for their marketing. With the help of the SBDC, their move to Boerne was successfully accomplished. The Cahills received the funding to help with the expansion.

Today, the Cahills operate a manufacturing facility, Ultimate Classic Cars, in a newly renovated facility in Boerne, Texas. They manufacture 1965 Cobra Replica kits and 1953 Corvette Replica kits. They also buy and sell cars that they take into consignment and then restore them.  Due to the assistance from the SBDC, new jobs were created and existing jobs were retained.

“David Baenziger was very knowledgeable as to what the banks would require from us to approve a loan. We would probably not have succeeded in obtaining the loan without his guidance.” Dennis and Shirley Cahill
