Whenever you’ve got the hood of your vintage Vette open, doesn’t it draw a crowd?  That’s’ the way it should be at shows, on fun runs, or when you’ve got friends over. But NOT when you’ve had to pull off the road because something broke or went wrong on your car.

A new title in the Motorbooks Workshop series gets right to the point—How To Keep Your Collector Car Alive. Josh Malks’ book covers potential problem areas as oils, lubrication and fuels (and how best to use the modern ones in your vintage rides); electrical systems, brakes, reliable starting, lighting, maintenance (inside and out), plus a detailed chapter about storage—and the right ways to do it.

This book is not only of value to the Corvette enthusiasts who drive their Vette(s) regularly, but also for those who only drive theirs once in a while. That includes those of you who’ve got your fiberglass-bodied finery put away for the winter.
