Description

Hello, I'm Ron. This is a brief history of Cruisers Classics. Cruisers Classics / Kevron Motors started in 1989 as an "after hours shop" operating in the Metha Motors garage in Elmhurst, IL. In mid 1990 Kevron had grown and needed its own space so we leased an old gas station building in Lyons, IL. There Kevron Motors became Kevron Auto Corp. About 1992 Kevron outgrew the 3 bay shop and found a much larger facility in Willowbrook, IL. There Kevron Auto Corp expanded into: Kevron Auto Care, Kevron Auto Parts, Anytime Towing and Kevron RV Rental. This was always more than enough work to keep Kevin and Ron (a.k.a. Cruiser) very busy with the business, customers and employees. Business was great but Cruiser's heart was more into Classic Cars, Cycles, Wooden Boats, and Machinery from an earlier time. After several years of operating there as a licensed business the wonderful village of Willowbrook changed the property's zoning. After an unsuccessful protest, Kevron had to cease operations at this location in late 1999. Kevron Corp was gone and we were fortunate to be able to store most of our stuff on the property of a very good friend (another old car nut) in the Newark, IL area. There Cruiser continued with his passion for working on old cars, cycles, etc. In 2002 the former Geo. Cook Chevrolet (1939 - 195?) building in downtown Newark was put up for sale. This was the start of Cruisers Classics / Restoration Services LTD and Cruisers new home.
