Q&A about Karl and Geigercars
We offer three different plans.
Karl Geiger
How did Karl get into American cars?Karl moved from the Black Forest to Munich at the age of 18 and started his own business there, repairing car brands such as Renault, Citroën and Volkswagen in his small repair shop. A few years later he got his hands on his first US car - a 1971 Chevrolet Corvette, completely packed in boxes. Karl got the boxes and crates with the Corvette parts out of an underground car park. At first he didn't realise what a challenge this would be, as he didn't know how the Corvette parts fit together. After a while Karl managed to put the '71 Corvette together, until he realised that it was a very special model: an LT1, which at the time already had over 400 hp. This is how his passion for American cars was born.
Past
How has Geiger Cars developed from its founding to today?Since its foundation, Geigercars has become a leading supplier of US vehicles in Germany, from a small importer. To express its interest in American cars, the company expanded its brand portfolio and strengthened its media presence. Today, Geigercars is known for its wide selection of vehicles and outstanding customer service.
Future
What does the future of Geigercars look like?The automotive industry is constantly changing and we will continue to move with it. We are open to new innovations and creations, but our heart beats for US cars, V8 engines and motorcycles.
