erald Work is an extraordinary vintage automobile collector. He’s got an impeccable eye for classic cars, yet he isn’t worried about enjoying them: he doesn’t believe they should be put on a pedestal only for show. Work likes nothing more than to slide behind the wheel of any one of his ten classics and go for a spin. “I love old cars because you can drive them anywhere,” Work said. “You don’t have to be afraid of going out and driving the car.” His collection is filled with breathtaking classics. Perhaps his most-loved is his 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, the embodiment of his belief that classics are meant to be driven and not just admired. After trading a 1969 Camaro for it eight years ago, he restored the classic to its original style, with no intention of hiding it in a garage.
