ART HOUSE OR AUTO DEALER?
A GEM OF A DEALER
ARISTOCRAT MOTORS ADDS ANOTHER JEWEL TO THEIR CROWN.
FEATURE CONTRIBUTOR JIM RAND
The Kansas City Region PCA and Aristocrat Motors have had a long standing special relationship. Obviously, they supply us with wonderful cars and service them. And, as Aristocrat has grown, they have spun off Porsche KC to better focus on our Porsche needs. Aristocrat has grown again.
Aristocrat Motors recently added another automotive jewel to their crown. Their Lee’s Summit location specializes
in pre-owned vehicles, and it sparkles inside and out.
There is no mistaking this building for a re-purposed gas station or pizza parlor. New from the ground up, several acres of automotive inventory, trucks, SUVs and sport cars surround the sales office and indoor delivery center.
Stepping inside, your eyes
are immediately drawn to the photographic artwork displayed on almost every wall. Tom Strongman, former automotive photographer and editor for the Kansas City Star, has the eyes behind the lens that have captured images of classic race and sport cars.
Mercedes, Jaguars and, of course, Porsches are prominently and artfully presented. By
being printed on an aluminum composite with a laminate backing, each photo’s colors seem deeper and more alive. The rich tones of quality black and white photography is truly beautiful. Many classic Porsches have been digitally arrested to admire.
The quality aesthetics continue throughout the building. Modern, yet comfortable furniture in offices and waiting areas play well with the frame-less photo
