Still a team small enough that every buyer talks to a founder at some point.
OUR STORY
Heritage is not nostalgia. It's the standard.
Texanna Used Car started with a simple complaint: dealer inspections you couldn’t actually trust on cars old enough to hide their secrets. Thirteen years later, that’s still the whole business.

HOW IT STARTED
A historian and a restorer, one bad delivery
In 2011, marque historian Texanna Marsh and restoration engineer Tomas Reyes both walked away from the same botched dealership handoff — a “numbers-matching” car sold without so much as a chassis-tag check, missing its original engine entirely. They started Archive to do the one thing that dealership hadn’t: verify provenance, in writing, before the money changes hands.
WHAT WE STAND ON
The Archive Certification Standard
Every car that carries our name passes the same checklist — no exceptions for price point.
Pre-Delivery Inspection Standard
Full chassis and engine number match, verified against factory records
Independent mechanical and body inspection, not performed in-house
Every finding — mechanical and historical — documented and shared before you buy
A direct line to the historian who researched your car's provenance
Straight From The Founders
Why we still inspect everything ourselves
Most of what goes wrong after a sale was visible beforehand — it just wasn’t looked for. We built the checklist we wished someone had used on us.
Provenance isn't a story we tell you. It's a paper trail we hand you before you sign anything.
