Peterson Automotive Museum

These are nice antiques and to a collector are worth some dough. I started out in my work life serving a tool and die apprenticeship. After I got my trade papers and working for a large U.S. company for about 7 years, I thought there has to be more in life that making tooling for stamping dies. I liked cars a lot and my dad kind of lead me to refurbishing cars.

After a few years and learning the ins and outs of the business, I made the decision to go into the business full time. I never had a desire to refurbish antique cars, so I settled on doing classic cars only. I refurbished over 300 vehicles with the help of my 2 employees, who were really good mechanics. The sewing was done by a local vendor that sews upholstery for used car dealers around here and my one guy does a great job airbrushing and painting.

When I get some time, I am going to post some pictures.
 
I like to look at cars and do go to car shows when they are nearby. I mostly have always worked on my own cars and trucks, except if the issue had to do with electronics. I remember when I bought an old 1973 Chevy pickup at an auction with the idea of fixing it up and getting the truck back up and running again. It needed the engine overhauled and then the outside was messed up and needed some work, which I am not a body man. It also needed a new bed. After putting a few thousand dollars in it, I lost interest and sold it, but I did rebuild the motor and had it running before I sold it.
