The goal and purpose of Garage51 is to make available and invite all in the collector car hobby to a new platform in which they can participate at any level from their very own home.

Garage51.com Research indicates there are several million hobbyists spread all across the USA, many of whom would enjoy sharing with others their special vehicles of all kinds - classics, antiques, special interest, customs, motorcyles and other kinds - but never attend the many annual shows, meets or auctions. It may be fairly obvious that Area51 was the inspiration for the name Garage51, and alludes to the many treasures hidden away in old garages, barns and workshops throughout the world.

Garage51 was developed for these hobbyists to have a special platform (see example) to show and share their special vehicles, projects, restoration stories, communicate among themselves, as well as find the products and services that help support their interests. And for those businesses that provide these very special and needed products and services to the collector car community, two separate categories (one for products, one for services) have been provided to better serve you.

One nice thing about the collector car hobby is that it provides enjoyment for families, couples and individuals at almost every economic level. An inexpensive high school re-creation that brings back or sustains cherished memories or that of the finest examples. This is a hobby all can enjoy if only as an observer.

A site such as Garage51 plants and waters the seeds of future hobbyists as well. If you ask most that now spend $100,000.00 or more on a collector vehicle at a high end auction, almost all will tell you they never envisioned doing so when they were 15, 20, or 30 years of age. As well almost all will have a story about a very first special car they owned or collected, and almost always for very little money.

We hope those of you that participate at any level in the collector car hobby will always include Garage51. If you are an owner of a vehicle or a product or service provider, our 12-month listing package (see Advantages of Our Longer Running Listings) for only $35 a year will provide a very efficient service for you. In addition to an attractive display platform there are many additional features and benefits we feel most in the hobby will appreciate.
