When this stunning 1948 Packard 22nd Series rolled out, it represented post-war luxury with sleek "bathtub" styling, elegant curves, and enough chrome to keep any detailer smiling. Built during the 22nd Series (1947–1949), these classics were designed to turn heads—and they still do today. The one that visited our shop recently is a 1948 Standard Eight 2293 Station Wagon Sedan.

At Classic Appreciation, we believe every vehicle deserves the royal treatment. Whether it's a timeless classic like this Packard or your daily driver, our goal is the same: bring out that showroom shine and protect it for years to come.

🛺 Because great cars never go out of style... they just need a great detail!

The 1973 Corvette Stingray is one of the most recognizable C3 Corvettes ever built and for good reason! It marked Corvette’s 20th anniversary and was the only model year to feature a body-colored urethane front bumper with chrome rear bumpers. That one-year-only combination makes the 1973 a wonderful car to admire. This beauty enjoyed its spa day with an Extreme Shine Complete Detail, a complete refresh inside and out, and is ready to hit the road!

This 2026 Toyota GR Corolla packs a turbocharged 3-cylinder engine with 300+ horsepower, rally-inspired GR-FOUR all-wheel drive. 🏁

This hot hatch came to us for the same level of attention Toyota gave it at the factory. Now it's protected, polished, and turning even more heads. Our customer chose to protect their car with Opti-Coat Pro+ Ceramic Coating and then added some tints to keep it cool in the summer and to make it look even cooler!

Performance deserves a finish to match. 🚗💎

💙Bringing a Piece of American Automotive History Back to Life! 💙

We have recently had the pleasure of detailing this stunning 1977 Ford LTD, finished in a beautiful blue that shines just as proudly today as it did nearly 50 years ago. This car was passed down through our customer's family and used to belong to his grandparents.

The 1977 Ford LTD was one of America's best-selling full-size cars during the late 1970s. Built during an era when comfort was king, the LTD featured a spacious interior, smooth ride, and classic body-on-frame construction that made it a favorite among families and road-trippers alike. It easily could fit 6 people in it!

Some fun facts about the 1977 Ford LTD:

💎 It rode on a massive 121-inch wheelbase, giving it the smooth, comfortable ride full-size cars were known for.
💎 Engine options ranged from a 302 cubic-inch V8 all the way up to a powerful 460 cubic-inch V8.
💎 The LTD's name stood for "Limited," highlighting its upscale features and luxury-inspired styling.
💎Ford sold hundreds of thousands of LTDs annually during the 1970s, making it one of the most recognizable American cars of its time.
💎The 1977 model featured updated styling with a distinctive grille and elegant chrome accents that still turn heads today.

Our goal with every classic car is to preserve its history while making it look its absolute best. From carefully cleaning every surface to restoring that deep blue shine, this Ford LTD left our shop looking ready for the next car show or Sunday cruise. It is an honor to be trusted with a legacy vehicle with sentimental value that is priceless.

This car was sent to its owner in style, with its paint revitalized and looking fresh INSIDE AND OUT with a COMPLETE EXTREME SHINE EXTERIOR DETAIL FOR CLASSIC CARS.
All of the 1999 Dodge Vipers (RT/10, GTS, and ACR) were assembled by a small team at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit, Michigan rather than on a typical high-volume assembly line. A total of less than 2000 were made of the RT/10, GTS and the ACR models combined.
The Viper is an American muscle car featuring an 8.0L V10 engine. One especially cool fact: the Viper's massive 8.0-liter V10 idles with a distinctive uneven rumble that many enthusiasts can identify instantly, even without seeing the car. It's one of the most recognizable American performance-car sounds ever produced.
Unlike modern sports cars, the 1999 Viper had no traction control, no stability control and no anti-lock brakes (ABS wasn't added until 2001). The first generation's exhaust ran along the outside of the rocker panels and owners often joked that the car came with a complimentary calf burn! Every 1999 Viper came with a 6-speed manual transmission. An automatic transmission was never offered on any generation of the Viper.

Serious performance for its time.

The 1999 Viper's 8.0-liter V10 produced:
450 horsepower
490 lb.-ft of torque
0–60 mph in a neck breaking 4 seconds
Top speed around 185 mph
