About us

We believe the value in owning a vintage vehicle is in being able to drive and enjoy it reliably and safely, allowing it to receive the compliments and attention it deserves.  We also understand classic cars require a considerable investment of time, effort, and money.  Our mission is to help our customers protect their investment and preserve their piece of automotive history; We do this by providing a complete, specialized, one-stop service experience for classics, from minor repairs to full restorations.  In addition, we also offer assistance with the locating, buying, or selling process. 

Our company history

Vintage Auto was founded on July 7, 1990 by Dan Loftus.  His vision was simple:  To employ his passion for vintage vehicles, and to share that experience by restoring and servicing classics for their owners to drive and enjoy. "My favorite restoration," he often said, "is the next one!"

Since then we have fully restored dozens of vehicles, and have a busy service schedule during summer months.  We keep things simple, and community oriented, because those are our roots. Every project, every classic on the road has a place here.

"My personal collection is a bit on the mundane side.  I've had a long-time Volkswagen obsession, and the current line-up reflects that..

What I really like to see at a car show, are vehicles that you don't see at every car show.  While I love late 60's Camaros, '70 Chevelle SS, classic Mustangs, 1963 VW "Herbie" look-alikes, and late 50's Chevys, I'm always drawn to that one odd-duck.. The fully restored 1976 Pinto, a 1953 Eisetta, a 1961 Lincoln Continental Convertible, or... My bone stock '78 Skylark.  :-)  Daily drivers are the best!  I love cars with a little character: The well-worn steering wheel.. The fingernail marks behind the door handle..  These cars were loved, and still are. They tell a story all their own. I don't care if there is a fly speck on the inside of the ashtray handle, or if the tires don't have all 2,038 original casting nubs.. There is such a thing as over-restoring, and the process of detailing can get carried away to the point where you're afraid to touch it.  Now, detail is key in my business, but for myself, I'll take the one I can cruise around in all summer long.. Those memories are priceless!"
