AboutJeff Clark Expertise I can answer most questions on vintage-car history and trivia, but there are three things I can't help with:
1) repair questions
2) "where-can-I-find-the-VIN-on-my-car?" questions

Experience I've been a classic-car fanatic my entire life, and have spent most of my free time studying the automotive industry and its history.
