Vision and Values
As we just moved to this, what is the mission or philosophy behind Forever Young Auto Classics?
Forever Young Auto Classics, LLC is propelled by the vision of helping our Customers take care of their beloved Classic Cars. Being a small business established by a family of car enthusiasts, we are picking the best vintage Original/OEM/NOS parts for you. We are proud to be able to preserve the great history of the classic auto industry.
What makes your company different from other auto parts dealers?
I need to mention several aspects here. First, we are trying to be an innovative disruptor of some kind in the niche of vintage parts. We are combining the era of 1930s to 2000s (the twentieth century) with modern technologies of the twenty-first century. Moving from flea markets and swap meets more towards digital platforms. This allows us to increase the reach, expand the audience by engaging younger generations. We are also adding a feel of an involvement experience, not just posting our current inventory catalogs, but also doing test drives, discussing the driving experience. We are also trying to be on an educational side for the younger generation, publishing knowledge base content of different formats on both YouTube and Instagram.
How do you ensure authenticity and quality in the parts you source and sell?
It is a good question! We are at the stage and scale of a family business right now, so all the inventory acquisitions, all prep work, storing, and picking and packing are controlled by us. This drastically increases the quality and lowers the possibility of mistakes, which you can definitely see, for example, in our eBay seller`s ratings and reviews.
What kind of customers do you typically serve — collectors, restorers, hobbyists?
Correct the full spectrum, as you mentioned! Car collectors who already have a car and are in search of parts. Restores who require parts for their business, working on customer cars. And hobbyists or car enthusiasts, who are happy to consume digital content in the niche – Instagram photos and short reels, or some more lengthy and detailed YouTube videos.
How do you see your role in preserving automotive history?
Great question, which is really close to our heart! By trying to go digital and not just selling parts, but also creating social media content of both interactive and educational types, we are trying to engage younger generations in the industry and culture of classic and vintage automobiles, this way preserving the automotive history.
