1. YOU CAN GO HOME AGAIN

Chances are that you remember car guys who fiddled with old hot rods, sports or antique cars in the town where you grew up. Even if you moved away two or three decades ago, that doesn't mean that enthusiast doesn't still live there. As you read in Tom's story on his own barn-find cars, He bought an Abarth coupe from the estate of a man who he remembered worked on cool cars in his driveway when he was a kid.

2.  SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS ARE BEST

The weekends are the best time to discover cars that might be hidden in people’s garages.  That’s the time when people do yard work and house cleaning chores, and often open up their garages to take out rakes, shovels, ladders, etc.  And guess what? Those cars that are usually hidden behind garage doors are often exposed then.  Tom has often thought that X-ray vision would be the most handy talent to have in searching for old cars.  However, searching on weekends is the next best thing.
