  Vintage cars are literally to-die-for. Not only are they a living piece of history that you can brag about without fear or shame, they are also a testament to craftsmanship that has all but faded into the hinterlands of memory.  Vintage cars  are not only great collector’s pieces they are eye candy that you can boast about, as you ride it in real time.

Such things can be as simple as built-in GPS, a sound-system, air-conditioning, advanced car security, power output management systems and the like, all of which are absent or lacking in vintage vehicles.

Why customize? Customizing your...
