Owners
Valuation:	We utilize a mix of data sources to assess the valuation of your vehicle and help you plan the management of your vehicle accordingly. We help you answer the critical questions: Might this be the right time to sell? Restore or sell as-is? Private sale or auction? Fees vary by scope and are determined after an initial consultation.
Provenance:	We compile public and private records, including those from the manufacturer, to cleanly present the original history of the car and support your vehicle receiving a premium value. We compile ownership history, service records, original equipment specifications, and manufacturing documentation into a comprehensive provenance package that builds buyer confidence and justifies a strong asking price. Fees vary by scope and are determined after an initial consultation.

About

Tyler Nickerson is a passionate curator and preservationist of classic vehicles who approaches every car through three lenses: the financial analyst evaluating market trends and valuations, the historian researching provenance and significance, and the craftsman preserving original details with meticulous care.Tyler started Wonderland because he's a car enthusiast and collector at heart. But Tyler realized he gets more joy in helping fellow collectors find, preserve, and protect the machines they treasure.Tyler's passion for vintage trucks started with his dad's new 1989 Toyota Pickup in dark blue. As a kid, he rode on the neighbor's tractor around the lawn and always talked to firefighters about their trucks. He collected Hot Wheels and then a garage of digital cars on Gran Turismo and Need for Speed. Tyler has been detailing for over 20 years, since his first job at age 15 at Soakers Hand Car Wash in Holland, Michigan. After pursuing a career in banking and finance on the East Coast and launching several successful businesses, Tyler moved back home to Michigan in 2025. He was ready to combine his finance expertise with his lifelong passion for collector cars.Inspired by Michigan's historic license plate motto "Water - Winter - Wonderland" and the state's vibrant automotive culture, Tyler created Wonderland to help collectors preserve the machines that made the memories.
