Ken McGee's entire life has existed around the automobile. Ninety-two years ago his parents started up a Dodge-DeSoto dealership and Ken, who was the youngest of four sons, spent every hour after school and weekends at the garage. At 12 years of age he sold his first car and has never stopped since. He started working at the dealership full-time at age 16. In January of 1962 the dealership changed to a Pontiac-Buick-Cadillac-GMC franchise. Ken became the President of the dealership 1981. In April of 2006 McGee Motors had to opportunity to buy out the local Chevrolet Dealership, then, with the reorganization of GM in 2009, became a Chevrolet-Buick-Cadillac-GMC dealer.

In late 2011, after more than 55 years, Ken retired from the dealership. He continues to manage his collector car and literature business, and remains active in the car hobby. Ken is also a past president of the Goderich Kinsmen Club, and Rotary Club of which he is still an active member.

 

Ken purchased his first antique car at 15 years of age (a '32 Dodge) and has since owned hundreds of them from Antiques to Classics. His main interest is in cars from the teens through the 50's. He started collecting antique auto literature in the early 60's and has amassed a huge collection. Several purchases required tractor trailers to bring them home. Always a fondness for pre-war material has resulted in the best collection of this type available anywhere. He has also branched into quality original toys like Buddy L, Arcade, Hubley, Minnitoy, etc and have amassed a large quantity of them. The store has a great display of other automobilia as well.

In 2000 a decision was made to build a smart new 10,000 Sq. Ft. building where we could properly merchandise our wares. Several workstations were established for our staff who also have to look after our eBay store, which contains several thousand items for our online customers to choose from. As well as the hobby aspect, we supply car dealers, rent-a-car companies, tombstone engravers, police, RCMP, lawyers, and TV who need vehicle information for anything from sales, litigation, theft, etc. We have hosted many antique car tours, service clubs, and school groups at our literature shop.
