Do yourself a favor and come check them out. If I wasn't flying out there would be a lot of pieces I would have wanted to take with me. So many cool finds. I loved that they let you come in and just see what they have and no pressure in buying. I will definitely be back read more

We popped in not realizing they are getting ready to move to their new location! Oops! That said, they still let us come in and take a peak. :) They were kind and inviting :) One of their employees even gave my 4 year old a couple little hot wheels she happened to have at her desk. Everything that was left over was SO nostalgic and fun. Once they're open and settled in their new location we'll definitely visit again. LOVE places like this. Do yourself a favor and come visit this fun time capsule with some AMAZING finds! read more

Very cool place to visit. They have many things there to see. Fun way to pass time. The staff are very nice.

I can't believe I didn't check this place out sooner!! All I can say is O.M.G!! If you're into old memorabilia, classic cars and more...this is a must visit. Upon entering, we were greeted by Brianna, who gave us a quick rundown of the store. She was super friendly and helpful throughout our visit. Once you begin to browse through the many rooms filled with old memorabilia, you are immediately taken back in time. I was literally like a kid in a candy store!! As we entered the main warehouse, I am certain my jaw hit the ground and my eyes almost popped out of my head lol. There is so much to see and enjoy!! A few of my favorites...The Helms Bakery truck, Coca Cola section, Barbershop section and the BEAUTIFUL Fairlane. I will post only a few photos, so you can be just as excited as I was to see all the amazing items here at the store. Admission is free, restrooms on site. Street parking available, accessible to the entrance. read more

It's amazing how you can pass a place every day and not know how much of a gem it is... I came with my uncles because one loves classic cars. The cars were nice - I'm not a great appreciator of classic cars but they were nice to look at. We went inside and and I automatically was drawn to the nine foot Pep Boys statue! I don't know why but I was diggin' it! Then I ventured behind there and there was a pristine antique shop! This place is much bigger than meets the eye from the outside view. Neon signs, classic gas pumps, old Hamburgler models, classic bicycles - I was mesmerized! Really cool and classic pieces you could nicely incorporate into your decor. Jon was awesome! Very nice and checked to make sure we were okay and didn't have any questions before he told us about the slot machine room and upstairs show room! Awesome place to check out! When I win the lotto, I'm coming here! Guess I should play... read more

Back in the Day Classics - Antiques Near Me - Orange, California

I have been driving by this place for years and I finally stopped in and checked things out. Most if the cars are junk and most if the cars are over priced. Walking through the showroom reminded me of s road side museum you would of found near Barstow, CA back in the 1960's Some of the signs that are for sale are really KOOL. Old fuel pumps and I the automotive memorabilia. I will go back from time to time just to check out the new inventory because it changes all the time. read more

I found this place as a pit stop on the way to Irvine. I love old cars and they have a nice selection from various decades. They also have tons of old memorabilia - neon signs, Bob's Big Boy stuff, old cash registers, rotary phones, casino stuff, and a cool '50s phone booth. It's a lot to look at and everything is on sale. The store is also very clean, which is a plus. read more

Dealt with Tony and Henry - bought a Mercedes from them - very professional and made everything very easy for an out of state buyer - will def look to purchase from them again! read more

Can't say anything about there car sales, but the cars on the lot are gorgeous. A little overpriced (ok, a lot), but beautiful. My daughter and I visited, looked at the cars and shot her graduation portraits there, and the staff were all so very kind and gracious. They didn't mind at all that we were shooting and even suggested specific places on the lot (and inside the showroom--please do go visit the showroom including the back room). It was so nice to meet such pleasant men who would not accept a dime-or even a $20 bill-for the use of their "studio." Awe, but the cars---the beautiful cars!! read more

Don't be fooled by the cars in the lot. Thus place is loaded with antiques. Walk into the show room so much stuff to list from coca cola to bob's big boy statue old fashion soda shop counters and fountains. You need to see for your self. Jon Dino sales rep friendly and knowledgeable of all products they carry. It's like an Americana museum. read more

Back In The Day Classics is a destination location for anyone who loves classic cars, trucks, motorcycles and American Memorabilia. The collection is of museum quality and changes often. The staff is quite friendly, accommodating and actually funny. Overall it was a great guest experience. A must see premier location in So Cal Car Culture. read more

DO NOT BUY or CONSIGN a car to this dealership! The other reviews about markup are correct. They have a ridiculous markup because they can offer "financing" to the uninformed or as they told me "everyone needs to feel like they are getting a deal." After driving by and seeing the cars in the lot, I left my classic mustang here and requested a monthly call so that they could let me know if there was any interest or it was priced too high. I never received any calls, so I would then call them to check-in. Each time I would check-in, I would ask them to lower the price. This went on for a few months but because of their price markup there was not much interest. However, I found out that they never updated the prices online. I am guessing this is so that they can keep some cars around in the lot to attract interest. The car never sold. Finally after several months I requested my car back. The car was washed but had not been driven, so it had a dead battery. In addition, there was new body damage and damage to the wheel hub (stolen cap). I left several messages with staff for the manager to call me. The manager Tony Martinez finally called me back weeks later and said that he would not replace the battery. He did say he would fix the damage... That was 3 months ago and I cannot seem to get him to follow up on this promise or get another call back from this dealer. SKIP THIS PLACE! You can look at the cars in the parking lot, but do not trust them to sell your car, or get ripped off by buying from this dealer. read more

I've past by this Auto Dealership every time I exit the Avalon Blvd. South off ramp. I was always impressed by this dealership with all the classic cars even before they had their grand opening. I will surely check it out often in the coming days. It's unlike any other Car Dealership I've seen in the area in size and array of classic cars. read more

Great way to start the day.Lots of beautiful cars and friendly people. Coffee and donuts

This is one of the coolest place in town to check out Amazing classic / Rare cars I 'am in Love with this Place & super impress They just don't Have Cars for Sale but a Whole Lot more....I was shock to walk in and see a Antique and Collectable store Full of items I haven't seen since birth and before birth :) This Place is Dope!!!!! read more

It's all about the amazing showroom, the collectables and looking at interesting vintage vehicles. I didn't see many "original" cars or trucks. The restorations are dirt cheap, w/ nasty paint jobs that are overly shiny while for the most part lacking depth. There's a beautiful '58 Ford Ranchero sporting a hastily removed padded dash and a '57 clock, with a differently colored face, which screams indifference. The stock is mainly overpriced for the condition and models available. One could never officially show anything bought here without being laughed into the parking lot, but for those lacking in imagination who know nothing about collector cars and don't mind a completely inauthentic restoration, this is the place to go. read more
