We Made the Inc. 500!

September 8, 2008

It is with great pleasure that we announce that Gotham Dream Cars has been named to the 2008 Inc. 500 list of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S.  This is a huge honor for us (and, personally, something I've dreamed about since picking up my first copy of Inc. magazine almost a decade ago).   But of course the people responsible for this growth are our valued clients, without whom we'd still be a 1-car show running out of my garage.So consider this a heartfelt thank you.  We sincerely appreciate your business, support, advice, suggestions, and feedback over the years, and look forward to many more exciting, adrenaline-filled years ahead.
