COMPLETE LIQUIDATION SATURDAY MAY 9TH 10 AM
EAST HWY 10, LAWRENCE, KANSAS

H. Z. Smith started out driving old cars (junkers) back in the 1960s as that was all he could afford. With his wife he opened H. Z. Smith Motors in Lawrence, Ks. Selling everyday cars on time and stocking a few vintage automobiles. His first old car to resell was a 1928 Chevrolet coupe.

“By the early 90s I was stocking over 300 cars,” said Smith, ”with over 100 of those in the vintage category.” At that point he was the go to dealer in the mid-west for buying or selling vintage cars or car parts. As our name grew he bought and sold cars from all over the US. H.Z. Smith cars have gone to buyers from all over the world from Canada, Mexico, England, France, Holland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. Most of the overseas sales have gone to the Scandinavian countries.

“I became the first electric car dealer in Lawrence since 1914 in 1981 with the Comut-A-Car. The gas prices came down and the technology wasn’t there yet but to be the dealer that had the most obscure inventory has made it fun for me. From a push mower to a Harley, form a Camry to a Kaiser concept car you could get it here.”

My years in the Automobile business flew by, since I have loved cars since I was a teenager. I would love to continue to work with cars, but after 32 years time and health have forced me to give it up.
