Ready for the Road
The joy of an old car is in the driving. Take a trip, visit a friend, make a memory. But while many appreciate a stock machine and what it has to offer, there are just as many owners who minimize outings in their classics. Why? The creature comforts aren’t there. You need to stick to back roads because it’s not pleasant on the freeway. You don’t want to wear it out. You don’t trust it more than a few miles from home.
Factory-stock vehicles have that authentic feel, but cars of the past were built to a different set of standards. The world that these cars live in has changed. Technology that once felt space-age has become commonplace, even in cars that are more than a decade old. Such advancements only highlight what’s lacking on a vintage vehicle, particularly to those who experienced some of today’s classics back when they were new.
How do you make your old car more driveable, more set-it-and-forget-it reliable, and more confidence-instilling on long trips without destroying the character that made you fall in love with it in the first place? We have some suggestions.
