The magic of American iron

Nowadays, more and more Finns want to tinker with old hobby vehicles. Yankee car culture is also flourishing. The number of old Yankee cars and those who enjoy them grows every year.

Tinkering with Yankee cars is a comprehensive, in many cases lifelong hobby that requires a lot of commitment and financial investment.

The hobby is not just driving cars. It is construction and restoration. It is communal activity and networking. It requires patience, planning, knowledge and skill from the hobbyist. It is not just a hobby but a form of subculture and a way of life. Enthusiasts are craftsmen and collectors. They are also nostalgic, who dream of past decades that they themselves have not been able to experience.
