Classic Car Restoration: Much More Than Holding On to Those Feelings of Nostalgia
Nostalgia is a feeling we know all too well. From longing to be back in the 80s, cellphone-less, jamming to Def Leppard or Prince on the radio to wishing we were born in a completely different generation like the 1950s when Elvis Presley was making his way into the hearts of Americans one hit after another.
One of the ways we hold on to the past is through vehicles. Cars and trucks of previous decades represent simpler times. Whether it’s a 1966 Chevrolet Camaro that was passed down to you from your grandparents who drove it throughout their young adult lives or a 1954 Hudson Hornet that gives you visions of what it would have been like to cruise it down the streets with “Shake, Rattle and Roll” blasting on the radio during that year. Classic cars allow us to hold on to the past. But if you’ve put off giving it the care it needs in the form of restoration, you may want to consider otherwise.
The benefits of classic car restoration exceed visions of what life would have been like if you were living in a different time. Restoring a car can give you new opportunities; here are a couple of them:
Date Night
Who wouldn’t love a night (or day) out on the town in a classic car? When you restore your classic car or truck, you’ll have something fun to do for a date. Imagine going for a cruise on a Saturday afternoon, making stops for ice cream, and then parking somewhere picturesque to snap a couple of Instagram-worthy pics. Classic cars make the perfect date material. And cruising in a classic never gets old!
Special Events
El Paso is infamous for their take on weddings and quinceñeras. One of the ways we make them stand out is how we arrive. Arriving in a classic car almost always steals the show. When you restore your classic car, you’ll be able to rent it out for service. This could be a lucrative weekend job. Invest in a classy suit to match your car and you’ve got yourself a fun side gig.
An Anniversary or Milestone Gift
Perhaps your spouse has always spoken about his or her aspirations of someday owning a 1966 Ford Mustang or a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. Finding one in perfect condition will be expensive and often impossible but when you buy one that needs some work, you can begin working towards the perfect anniversary or milestone gift. Let’s say your husband or wife landed on a huge promotion, imagine rewarding him or her with their dream classic car. They’ll be speechless.
