Have you often wondered how realistic the reality TV restoration shows are? Make your reservation now to attend our Capaldi Restoration Clinic to get a behind-the scenes look at the operation of a real restoration shop with a special focus on the research needed prior to beginning a restoration. The event is scheduled from 1:00-4:00 p.m. at Capaldi Enterprises Inc (36420 Biltmore Place, Willoughby 44094).
Many of you may remember our host, Jim Capaldi, as he was a presenter at our Old Car Fun Day last year. At Capaldi Enterprises (established in 1989), Jim and his 7 staff members are involved in all phases of restoration except for upholstery and chrome plating. The Capaldi team is nationally-known for the quality of their restorations and have had vehicles at Pebble Beach and Amelia Island. Among the automobiles that we will see in various stages of restoration are:
- 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 4-door convertible that is in original condition. Should it be preserved or restored?? That will be one of our discussion topics.
- 1930s Delahaye with ash wood frame and a Pennock body from the Netherlands
- 1932 Lincoln with an aluminum Dietrich body
- 1934 Lincolns with LeBaron bodies—a dual-cowl phaeton and a boattail speedster.
As an added treat the John Wolf & Co. shop is in the same building. John specializes in gauge and instrumentation restoration for cars, boats, and aircraft. We will be able to draw upon his expertise as well.
