Black or white. Since 2014.
A note from Adrian
Contrast Motor Co. began in 2014 in a two-bay Kirkland garage. Founder Adrian Kessler had spent a decade sourcing cars for collectors and grew tired of compromise. His rule was simple: only premium makes, only black or white, and only cars he would keep himself. Narrowing the palette turned out to sharpen everything else. Every car is chosen for its history before its spec sheet, inspected by our own technicians, and reconditioned in-house before it reaches the showroom floor. Today we place around two hundred vehicles a year with drivers across the Eastside and, through enclosed transport, across the country.

What we stand by
- Provenance first.
- We buy cars with complete records or we don't buy them.
- Fewer, better.
- Inventory small enough that we can personally vouch for every car.
- Plain numbers.
- One posted price, a written inspection report, no add-ons you didn't ask for.
In numbers
- 150
- point inspection on every car
- 2014
- opened in Kirkland
- 200
- cars placed a year
