Very reliable. All of the cars in our fleet have been restored to “better than new” condition. The exterior paint and trim are like new and interior has been restored to new colors and patterns. So the cars look great. But more importantly, each car has been upgraded with modern improvements that make them perform much better than they did when they were new. Let’s take the 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, for example. In 1955, the V-8 engine was new to Chevrolet and the car came equipped with a 265 cubic inch eight cylinder engine and no oil filter - strangely enough it was an option. For authenticity’s sake we’ve maintained the small-block V-8, but we’ve upgraded to a more modern 350 cubic inch engine with greater horsepower, better fuel economy, and modern parts that can be found at any parts supply store.
