We Do What We Love…
Classic car restorations is how we started at Palm Beach Customs way back in the day. John Russo has been working on classic cars since he was 14 years old – starting with the Tri-5 Chevys and now we do our classic car restorations in Florida (there’s no snow here – we love it!)
Here at PBC, we’ve restored over 1100 cars since 1980 including Classic Car Restorations like the Tri-5 Chevys, Ford Coupes, Rolls Royces, Lincoln Zephyrs – and really – we could go on forever.

Featured Classic Car Restorations…
This 1957 Chevrolet Nomad V8 restoration was a 2500 man hour project not for the weak hearted.
This particular car meant a lot to me since my Best friend Paul Edwards was helping me with the restoration a Great friend and mentor Paul was 5 years older than me and we actually met because of the love for the Tri-Five Chev….
Here is an awesome 1961 Rolls Royce that we had the opportunity to work on down here at Palm Beach Customs.
During the 1940’s Ford produced about six car designs.
This was the standard that was provided in the automobile industry to car manufacturers in that particular year.
In fact, the 1940 Ford is considered as the iconic classic vehicle for car enthusiasts.
What the Restoration Process Involves…
Classic car restorations involve a lot of work and we can’t possibly list everything it involves. But here are a few images from our shop over the years so that you can get an idea of all that we do.
