Okay, it's technically a garage find, but it's still thrilling to see a dusty Porsche rescued from obscurity.Randy Carlson was at a Cars & Coffee event in Orange County, California, when his phone pinged. "I might need your help with something," read the text.
"I like to think it's giving a car a second chance," he says. "You only get one life as a human, but in a way bringing a car back is also bringing back all the people who have held that steering wheel."Carlson came by the car collecting passion through his father, who once brought home a 1932 Packard on Mother's Day, and then tried to pass it off as a Mother's Day present. This strategy did not work.
If you're at this year's Monterey Car Week, you can spot him doing just that with another one of his finds: a 1940 Mercedes-Benz 320 cabriolet with coachwork by Karosserie Rometsch, pulled out of a Midwestern barn. He bought the car having seen only partial pictures and not knowing exactly what it was. Despite the faded red paint and patches of corrosion, it's magnificent to see it back on the road.
