John Judd

My name is John Judd, I have always had a passion for vintage and classic automobiles since the young age of five. Experiencing ingenious moving works of art is a education all on its own. The engineering development and style that goes into a vintage or classic car is incredible.

We are the curators that can keep these memories alive by preservation. I can still remember as if it was yesterday, around five years of age riding in the back of my grandfather’s 1928 Hupmobile sedan in a Easter parade in 1974. I grew up around vintage automobiles all my life. For example a 1911 Reo, 1928 Hupmobile of course, early model fords and a Cord to name a few.

To this day I still have the original hand written bill of sale and registration and some pictures from a few of the early vintage vehicles that my grand father had owned. I always enjoyed hearing the stories about the thrill of the find of old automobiles in a barn or out the back of a property. Classic automobiles that had been sitting for many years waiting to be found.

My teenage years started out with a 1968 Beaumont 2 door hard top, white with black interior that my dad had in the early seventies that was my first car. I had owned a 1969 Chevelle that I had found in the late eighties. It had 454 big block under the hood, grey with black stripes lots of power for young kid. I have also had the pleasure of owning a few old motorcycles over the years.

I feel It is our duty of keeping the classics alive for the next generation to pick up from where we have left off. Talking to owners about their stories, collecting the history so we all can take a piece of our favourite and meaningful memory to live out and enjoy. That’s what being a vintage or classic automobile owner is all about. Contact us [email protected] if you have any questions.
