2  Owning a restored antique car allows you to display your own style and class.  “I enjoy taking something old and worn out and making it look and act new.” – Jeanette Tornquist (owner and restorer of antique cars)  Enables you to meet people with similar interests.  Allows you to travel to different places and share your hobby.

3  Depends on make, model, and starting condition.  Approximate cost: $50,000.  Depends on labor applied (professional restoration).  Various parts needed.  Doing it yourself may cost less but, you could lack in experience.

4  Depends on starting condition.  Must be spent on both small and large parts/details.  Once restored, the car must be maintained.  Make sure all work is completed correctly.

5  Looking for cars that fit your requirements to restore takes time.  Rarer models may require parts specific to the model, which take more time to find.

6  When collecting, you may come across a rare car.  Rare cars are more interesting, especially when traveling.  They are worth more if you decide to sell it.  May require more time spent restoring, if the model is old and unfamiliar.

9  Even before purchasing a car to restore, money will need to be spent on tools.  If you don’t have the correct tools, it can make restoration much harder, or not possible at all.  Some can be found in your garage, while others you’d have to go out and buy.  Cost depends on size and what it is used for.

13  “Touring” is when you drive/take your cars to exhibits or shows.  Touring adds to time, since a lot of collectors go on more than one tour a year. Some trips may be hundreds of miles from home.  Tours are optional, but they give car owners a great way to tell their stories and talk about their cars.  Touring can also add to cost because of gas prices and travel expenses to and from the show.

14  The 1913 Havers Six is one of the rarest cars in the world with only 3 known left. Lauren’s grandfather owns 2.  The record for the most expensive car sold in an auction is held by a Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa that sold for $16,390,000 in August of 2011.  The 1904 Rolls-Royce 10 hp Two-Seater is currently in the Guinness World Records as the most expensive veteran car to be sold, at $7,254,290 ($8,130,952 in 2013).
