Mention you saw them in Collector Car Guide | 5 Welcome Local Car Hobbyists...... to the premiere issue of Collector Car Guide! In any new endeavor, there are challenges and we have thus overcome many obstacles including covid-19 to bring this ultimate collector car resource guide to you. One of the most rewarding aspects in compiling this directory has been the opportunity to meet the dedicated people who represent the collector car community throughout Maryland and Southern and Central Pennsylvania areas. As confirmed by Rob Parr, Publisher several of these businesses and non-profits, this guide offers a new approach to reach the auto industry on a local level. Regardless of the organization, we all share one goal in common: to help local car collectors across various marques and models acquire, repair, restore, protect, and when the time comes, sell their dream cars. And while all of these services can be reached within a two-hour drive, many are considerably closer, but due to increased competition online, do not come up readily in online searches. Personally, I have been in the hobby over 35 years. In the past when “something broke,” (most likely, like me) you towed your dream ride to a shop you thought was reputable only to discover later that the mechanic damaged something else, did not actually fix the problem, misled you about repairs you did not need or overcharged you well beyond the original estimate (and hopefully not more than one of these maladies at one time)! As a result, my primary goal in publishing this guide is to steer you in the direction of 4 four star and better rated businesses. Accomplishing this one goal makes it all worthwhile to improve your experiences, but please refer to our other goals as expressed in Our Mission on page 24. During the past several months, I have endeavored to contact every conceivable collector car-related organization to contribute to this directory. To that end, we hope you, the reader, will embrace this directory as a staple reference guide for use in your garage or glove box all year long. However, if your favorite reputable parts counter, shop, or other business is one of the those not included, please encourage the owner/ manager/director to contact us so they can get involved in next year’s edition as well as display these directories at their place of business. As you get familiar with this unique directory, you will find special features includ- ing articles contributed by local experts, shows and events on pages 6 –9, clubs on pages 32-35, and the racing guide on page 26-27. Included are tips, factoids and some humorous quotes as well. At the same time, I encourage you to check out the various sponsors. When you visit in person, call or email, they would appreciate that you please mention you saw them in the Collector Car Guide. How would you like to win a $100 on us toward your purchase at one of our display advertisers? Simply complete and submit the survey on page 38, or online at www. collectorcarguide.net, by April 30, 2021. We appreciate your input so we can provide you with an improved, enlarged directory next year. Until then, visit our new website that also provides a fully interactive directory and many other benefits.
