Calling all gearheads, car collectors, and camper conversion fans—this show is for you!
In this episode of On the Road, Elizabeth McLeod takes a scenic detour into the world of antique, classic and vintage cars with Philip Reinhart, founder of Mechanical Arts, Inc., a renowned restoration shop located on the coast of Maine.
From chrome details to adventure-ready vintage campers, Reinhart shares stories behind the iconic cars featured in this month’s sale, including a standout Chevy C-10 camper conversion that combines rugged Americana with retro camping charm.
McLeod and Reinhart dive into three additional head-turning rides, each one capturing the spirit of classic motoring at its finest. Discover the original “Ultimate Driving Machine” and the allure of the 1973 BMW 3.0 CS, celebrated for its elegant design and performance; the comfort and style and timeless beauty of the 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Roadster Convertible, an icon of European luxury; and the vintage charm of the 1940 Chevrolet Master 85 Sedan, a superb example of pre-war Americana.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector, weekend cruiser, or dreaming of Maine’s winding coastal roads and your next camping trip, this episode is packed with insight and adventure. Each vehicle tells a story, reminding us that these classics are more than modes of transportation, they are total works of art.
