WHY INVESTING IN A VINTAGE CAR WILL BE WORTH YOUR WHILE
We like vintage, it’s obvious enough. It’s not because it’s a trend we can write content on, without putting in the proper effort but for thought, being old fashioned sometimes can work in your favour. Around Toronto, I have seen men haul our their new purchased baby blue 56’ chevy ready to turn fully drivable. Sometimes hitting up a “ junkyard” ( if you’re ready to get your hands dirty ) you can find interesting parts to be unique as well economical. I remember vividly doing this with my dad when I was super young and on the down low, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Life as we know, can not be as relaxing as we like, so this is a perfect way to pick up a hobby to unknot.
Not all “ vintage” cars you need to spend oodles on. Again secret areas like junk car lots can help you start from scratch and design the car into exactly how you would like it. To save even more money, search for a lighter color car. This is thrilling when wanting to switch up with a modern colour. Seating is the most common problem with being worn out, stained and or cigarette markings. With this generation of being tech savvy, there is always something out there that can fix the issue but for a “bloggable” idea finding different patches to cover up any car insecurities is the non-scare like tactic that won’t raise your blood pressure. In Keingston Market purchasing vintage patches is as easy as finding vegan food. Since we have readers in different countries/cities, check places that are your alike “ china town” or where the main street hipsters hang out, you’re guaranteed to find these in that certain area. Sewing on covers such as cocoa cola, rolling stones, hippie signs is matchless when flipping a vintage car. Plus huge brownie points when having passengers as you look ultra creative. Replacing broken items in the interior is a sign from the universe to be experimental and artistic. The 2 dice hanging from your mirror is a must, just kidding.Every single detail counts.

Every single detail counts. On your off days from transforming try and find a few old-fashioned comic books or “ magazines” to put in the back seat pockets. I think this idea is snappy because it’s one of a kind to furthering the vintage vibe. I’m not saying you have to hot glue cocoa cola bottles to your roof ( even though you would be the most talked about person in your city) your spending so much time and hard work to be a driving haute couture why not go the full mile.
If your adventurous individual adding a “ surf” rack to the roof is essential since it an automatic space saver.
In the end the full reasoning without reading between the lines is that, being different and brushing off being materialistic isn’t a bad thing. Personally I wish I had the energy to do this myself right now. We have an interesting viewership that some like fast cars and some dudes that are really into the arts, so feeding both is part of being Rad + Raw.
Looking to showcase your customised vintage car or purchased an old schooler? I will list a website that is a schedule for classic car shows. www.bramclassauto.com/the-directory/car-shows/ . This list might not show every scheduled car show in your area, so personally keep your eyes peeled for local posters/newspapers. Stay groovy!
