Our story
The reference for late 1950s MOPAR and Cadillac
Copperstate Classic Cars started in Phoenix in 1986. Founder Bo Malefors built a worldwide reputation for late 1950s MOPAR and Cadillac, and the shop has exported more than 3,000 cars and tens of thousands of parts since.
Today three Arizona shops carry that same standard to every classic we work on, whatever the make and whatever the budget.
