About Fondren's Classic Cars & Guitars in Shreveport, LA

Where Classic Car Restoration and Live Music Collide in Shreveport

Fondren's Classic Cars & Guitars is a locally owned classic car and guitar sales and restoration business based in Shreveport, Louisiana. Owned and operated by Craig Fondren, the business sits right on the Louisiana-Texas line, pulling customers from both states and well beyond.

What you'll find here isn't your typical showroom. The space is blacked out with a stage—a venue as much as a shop. Fondren's hosts live events featuring national acts, drawing crowds from Longview, Tyler, Magnolia AR, Monroe, and throughout the broader Shreveport area within a 100- to 150-mile radius for shows. Ticketing is handled through Outhouse Tickets, and the events bring in bands that rarely tour through this part of the country.

The business operates two distinct sides: sales and restoration. The sales department reaches customers nationwide, with buyers coming from Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Florida, Chicago, and beyond. If you're searching for a classic car or vintage guitar anywhere in the U.S., Fondren's can work with you. The restoration and repair department also attracts out-of-state clients, while repair customers typically come from within a three- to four-hour radius for same-day pickup and return.

On the automotive side, Fondren's handles full restorations for classic car owners who want their vehicles brought back to original condition or customized to their specifications. Restoration clients travel from out of state to have their cars worked on, and the shop's reputation extends well beyond the Ark-La-Tex region.

The guitar side of the business is a full-service repair shop—buying, selling, and repairing guitars. Whether you need setup work, electronics repair, refinishing, or structural fixes, the shop handles repairs for players throughout the region. The guitar inventory includes vintage and quality instruments for collectors and working musicians alike.



Shreveport's location at the Louisiana-Texas line positions Fondren's to serve customers from both states, with easy access from I-20 and surrounding communities. The physical location is as much a destination as a service center—when you visit, you're walking into a space that reflects the energy and care behind the work.

Craig Fondren built this business around two things he's passionate about: classic cars and guitars. You'll notice that passion when you walk in—or when you land on the website. The previous site didn't reflect the quality or vibe of what actually happens here. This updated presence is designed to match the real energy of the business: proud, collector-focused, and rooted in the community.

What sets Fondren's apart is the combination of craftsmanship and culture. You can bring in a guitar for repair, browse classic cars for sale, and catch a live show—all at the same location. The venue hosts older bands that don't tour through often, creating events that draw music fans from across the region.
