sellers so you know they get the quality they are expecting time and time again.” Akbani’s commitment to customers sees its culmination right at home. The original St. Louis location, his stomping grounds, now includes an events space which features 80,000 square feet of classic and collectible vehicles, 6,000 square feet of formal meeting space, 6,000 square feet of informal lounge seating in a contemporary setting, 45,000 square feet of trade show and convention space, and a state-of-the-art theatre room with a 120” rear-projection screen. Gateway Classic Cars’ involvement in charitable endeavours is no secret to classic and exotic car aficionados With all this forward momentum it is not a surprise to hear that Akbani and his team have found a few more garages for their cars. “We’re expanding to Philadelphia and Milwaukee on-top of the Atlanta move. Our total goal is to lay down 38 showrooms and locations in the United States and up to ten overseas.”
