Everything You Ever Wanted to Know
About Classic Cars but Were Afraid to Ask
The hosts of The Classic Car Show — which airs every Saturday morning at 8 a.m. on America's Web Radio and is archived each Monday for replays — will be on hand at The Greenbrier Theatre Saturday, May 7 at 3 p.m., presenting "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Classic Cars but Were Afraid to Ask." The hosts, Tom Cox and Richard Lentinello, will discuss various topics impacting the Classic Car world, as well as tips for success with your collection. They'll also take questions from the crowd during an intriguing discussion similar to what you'll find on their extremely popular radio show each Saturday. The event is free to anyone who wants to attend.
About Tom Cox
A member of The Greenbrier Concours d'Elegance Steering Committee, Cox has been buying and selling antique cars since before he could drive. A steady diet of Matchbox and Hot wheels cars coupled with an interest in engines of all kinds as a young boy led him on an automotive journey that not only continues to this day but intensifies by the week. Tom has bought and sold hundreds of vintage cars and does all of his own mechanical work. He has also been a legislative advocate for the automotive hobby for 30 years and has worked to protect it by working to craft hobby-friendly legislation in over 30 states and hundreds of municipalities. He has argued for hobbyist issues before the U.S. Congress. Joining the Antique Automobile Club of America at age 13, Tom has served its membership as an AACA National Board Member for 15 years, and has served two non-consecutive terms as AACA National President. An accomplished AACA Senior Master Judge, he has over 175 judging credits and serves on AACAs National Awards Team as well as its special Zenith Awards judging team. If it's an AACA National show you will likely find him out on the field, but he has judged at Concours and shows across the country. You might also find him as a panelist, moderator, or emcee at numerous national automotive events. Cox is in his 20th year as a member of the Board of Directors and Past President of the Virginia Museum of Transportation, and he serves on the Board of the Rolls Royce Foundation. The only things he loves as much as cars is music, dogs, cats and friends.
About Richard Lentinello
From American muscle cars to European sports cars, and nearly every form of transportation in between, former Hemmings Motor News’ Editor-in-Chief Richard Lentinello is a self-confessed car fanatic of the highest order. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, as long as it has an engine and four wheels, chances are great that Richard will find it interesting and worthy of collecting and restoring. Educated at Pratt Institute, where he became an interior architect, Lentinello’s publishing career began in 1987 when he founded Carrozzeria, a magazine dedicated to coachbuilding, panel beating and high-quality restorations of distinctive automobiles. Then, in the early-1990s, he made the switch from architecture to publishing, when he was appointed editor of a succession of car magazines whose titles included High Performance Pontiac, MuscleCars, and Vette. During his employment at Hemmings Motor News (from 1998 to 2020), along with writing and photography, Lentinello has been a judge at several prestigious concours, including The Greenbrier Concours d'Elegance. Upon leaving Hemmings in July 2020, Lentinello started his own collector-car magazine: Crankshaft. This is a high-quality, quarterly publication of 144 pages, which many consider to be a modern-day Automobile Quarterly, but with a soft cover. In his spare time, he can be found in his well-equipped garage, where he is performing a body-off restoration on a 1960 Triumph TR3A. Other cars include a 1955 Triumph TR2 (right-hand-drive), and his first car, a 1968 Triumph Spitfire MKIII, on which he performed a body-off restoration. As an accomplished automotive editor and photographer, Lentinello’s most recent books are "Cadillac Style" and "Corvair Style," which he self-published. He also wrote, "It’s Only Original Once," which was published by Motorbooks but is long sold out. For more details on Crankshaft please visit www.crankshaftmagazine.com
