About Russell Glantz

A native of Central Pennsylvania and a proud Veteran, I have been a "car person" since before I understood what they were.
In my lifetime, I have owned at least a dozen cars and trucks, of different eras and conditions, and spent quite a bit of money trying to fix some of them up. I could regale you for hours.
That being said, I am as much of an Automotive enthusiast as you can get, I either enjoy, appreciate, or respect cars and trucks of all eras and types, specifically the more rare or obscure ones, but particularly ones with "character" and a story. I appreciate the history of a vehicle, and its place in history, as much as I do the vehicle itself.
