In this episode of Hagerty, the team embarks on a journey to discover hidden treasures in their own backyard. They stumble upon Adam's 1979 Corvette, a project car that holds sentimental value as it was produced in the same year he was born. With its sleek design and V8 engine, this American muscle car is a sight to behold. Despite some battery issues and the need for suspension work, Adam is determined to get this beauty back on the road.
But that's not all! The team also meets Daisy, Adam's co-star, who shares his love for the Corvette. They discuss the car's mileage, which Adam assures is genuine, and its journey from Virginia to its current location. The Hagerty team even takes a moment to promote their Hagerty Drivers Club, offering subscribers exclusive benefits and perks in the automotive industry.
Moving on to their next adventure, the team visits David, a long-time friend who specializes in sports car body repair and restoration. David's barn is a treasure trove of classic cars, including a rare Lotus Europa and a stunning 1974 Lotus Elan. As they explore David's collection, they learn about his passion for British cars and the stories behind each vehicle.
David's plans for semi-retirement and future projects are also discussed, as he aims to dedicate more time to his own cars. With his expertise and craftsmanship, it's no wonder that David's work has transformed these cars into stunning pieces of art. The team bids farewell, grateful for the opportunity to witness the passion and skill that goes into preserving these automotive gems.
