About us
Autohaus Franz Beck – Your partner for American cars in Upper Bavaria!
Wildflecken
used to be one of three major training-areas of the US Army during the “Cold
War”.
About 5,000 US service members and their families used to live in our area
during those times. This gave us an opportunity to work and gain expertise on
American-made cars for more than 45 years.
Today we still have many military and civilian customers from the US garrisons Schweinfurt, Bamberg, Ansbach and even Wiesbaden.
We also import cars (new and used) and parts for American vehicles from the USA.
Special service for old-timers.
Our experts specialize not only on Fords, we are also experienced with Chrysler, Chevrolet und many other American brands.
