Places to visit for gear heads and car nuts!

There are so many places to visit in this country from museums, to road side attractions, shows & events, to enjoy seeing uniques cars and enjoying our hobby/business.

A Bite of History: Unicorn Restorations, the 1974 Camaro Z28

by Mike Thies

At any good car show, you will find 1957 Chevys in every form: survivors, frame-off restorations, and restomods. What you will rarely find is a 1958. That tells you something about the collector market. Not every year of a popular model becomes a true collectible.
