Greetings,

I'm trying to research the following information regarding today's passenger car market. Here are my questions:

How many groups do passenger car restoration as a business? How many cars are being restored
annually in this country by these companies?

God Bless,

Hi Gerald;

Can't speak for anybody else, but I do about 3 over 5 years as a contractor among my other various projects. Strasburg has a good rebuild shop as does Steamtown, Glen Guerra and Vance Dickenson are fine craftsmen as well. Apologies to anybody I am leaving out.

Try the bimonthly magazine Private Varnish. Their web site is http://www.aaprco.com. I have just started my subscription and there is a fair amount of advertising by the different services.
