79 Undiscovered Classics Process — The Six Track System Since nearly all the cars we find and restore are not known by the public or haven ’ t been seen in decades, we ’ ve developed a process that helps us reintroduce the cars and celebrate their unique history. This system involves a network of people and media across the world and includes 6 components that ensure that the car can be welcomed back into the community in the most positive and enjoyable way. When a car enters restoration as shown in “ Track 1”, processes begin in each of the remaining 5 tracks which help ensure a successful and exciting debut. Each successive track takes more effort but with each additional track comes greater recognition and opportunity to celebrate. Graham Kozak of Autoweek had the unique opportunity of watching one of our restorations from acquisition to debut at the 2015 Pebble Beach Concours d ’ Elegance—our 1950 Leo Lyons Custom Mercury. After witnessing all that we do, he shared his insight into our process in an article in the September 2nd, 2015 issue of Autoweek Magazine as follows: “ Instead of bidding on (or buying) cars that come with a concours invitations attached, Geoff Hacker and Undiscovered Classics are finding intriguing, long - forgotten (and relatively affordable) cars and building cases for their historical significance. Time and again, their enthusiasm has opened doors to some of the country ’ s top concours. If the concours scene is going to survive in the coming years, it ’ s going to have to embrace the "Undiscovered Classics" and emerging trends. So go forth and seek the cars you find intriguing, whether or not they're worth boatloads of money, and you too may find yourself cruising onto the concours green. If you do end up with something special, Hacker ’ s Undiscovered Classics model is one that you'd do well to emulate. Unlike the typical, secretive owners, they ’ re nothing but transparent about what they do, which lets guys like me share every step of the previously mysterious process with all of you. Their objective is to make the whole process engaging and informative and maybe even fun -- not something you usually say about a stranger ’ s car restoration. They would have succeeded even if they hadn ’ t let me hop behind the wheel the morning of the concours. Not that I was about to stop them. ” Check out a high - level view of our 6 - track process on the facing page.
