& History Matters
A
The first cars were built by hand through a complex and multi-phase process. Coachbuilding refers to the wooden skeleton of these early cars. Cabinet builders were the first coachbuilders and we must retrace their steps when we restore one of these historic cars. The carpenter who attempts to renovate these stunning works of art must be able to produce precision complex curves. They must also have a detailed understanding of how every system will eventually come together to create the final product. Sabra Johnson and his expert restoration team of craftsmen at City Classic Cats specializes in high end vintage, antique and exotic restorations of Bugatti, Ferrari, Mercedes, one-off racers and limited production early model historical automobiles.
Founded by Sabra Johnson, Coachbuilders is a full service, classic automotive facility providing a one-stop shop for all restorative services. Sabra created this specialty division within his restoration umbrella to handle high end upholstery, vintage coach making and complete vintage restoration.
“The proven way to restore a vintage coach built car body properly is to strategically disassemble the vehicle in reverse order, in order to restore the project to in the same sequential method employed by the original craftsman... and it is to this objective coachbuilders exist.”
