History
Last year, a group of automotive restorers and a designer started a custom and restoration shop in the back of a Chicago mentoring program. Their names are Gregory Alonzo, Edgar Lara and Mike Herbert. They found themselves passionate about Cadillacs, and the brand's heritage, so they started a shop, found some cars to work on, and are looking for other fellow Cadillac lovers to join them.
Specialties
Speakeasy Customs & Classics got its soul when founder Gregory Alonzo teamed up to restore a 1947 Cadillac Series 60 Fleetwood. Since we first opened our doors in 2016, we've specialized in bringing Cadillac's iconic past into the present and future through art and design-centered restoration, but our expertise doesn't stop there. We're experienced in performing customizations and meticulously restoring classics of all brands with a focus on expert auto restoration, design, and brand heritage. Each car we work on has soul, and from its design conception, its fabrication to its finalization we put our heart into developing the character each car represents, and the story it tells.
