The restoration of this 1938 Convertible Coupe is well under way. But he's not done. There's one more. Its authenticity has not yet been determined absolutely, but yet another car in Scales' shop appears to be a Berline. Restoration work proceeds at a pace set by the vehicle owner's bank account.
Some cars stay in the shop for years, getting attention as their owners' finances permit.
One spent a hiatus under cover while its owner pursued a law degree. Three rare Packard Berline sedans are lined up in Scales' shop. Scales is blunt with his customers about which cars are worth investing in, and which are not. It's when an owner babies a car that disaster strikes. The hub of a 1935 Packard Twelve is a work of art in its own right.
