Thomas

Thomas Garcia, known fondly as Tom, is our resident expert in classic car restoration. Growing up in Los Angeles, Tom developed a passion for classic cars as a child, often attending car shows and parades with his father. His first project was restoring a 1965 Mustang at the age of 16, a car that he still owns and treasures today.
Following high school, Tom attended a vocational school where he learned the finer points of automotive repair and restoration.
In 2022, Tom joined our website as one of the main writers. While his passion is classic cars, he can write about any car topic under the sun. Although, he’ll still be daydreaming of Aston Martins.
