Should I Restore a Collector Car? - Frank Perry
Whether to Restore This Old Car?
The Decision Process
By Frank Perry
Should I Restore an Old Car?
Why do some men (and women) want to restore run-out, often rusting hulks, backyard junker cars to like-new condition? It isn’t for money. Anyone who’s honestly undertaken a true restoration knows that there is basically no way to profit from the effort. It’s hard to explain why we do it, and I would venture to say no two people would justify it the same way.
Maybe it’s men of a certain age. Those of us who grew up in the mid-century era of social revolution, civil disobedience and anti-war hysteria remember the big men on campus who had the hot cars and hotter girls. At least that’s the way I remember it after all these years. It was the era when muscle cars were invented by Detroit.
