When you find something you’re really passionate about doing, it shows. Everyone can tell, not only that you’re good at what you do, but that you love to do it. And when your passion is restoring classic cars, then some are going to call you an artist.
This is what Glenn Wengerd, of Winesburg, Ohio had once been called by a wealthy collector. Working with an older man in the restoration business during high school, Glenn saw something that most would call junk turned into something beautiful. That was when he realized his passion. He has restored over 100 cars and trucks, including ones that Clark Gable and Tyrone Power had owned in the past, and had his work exhibited in museums and auto shows.
His passion for restoration has led him to restore other things. He’s restored bicycles, stoves, tractors, toys and even his house, built in 1897. He worked with the historical society to restore an 1837 log cabin and an 1876 one-room schoolhouse, both of which are now a source of pride in Winesburg. Active in the small Amish community transporting children to and from school, Glenn always has a couple people at his workshop watching or wanting to help him restore his latest project.
There may be nothing that Glenn can’t fix. At least that’s what some of his friends believe.
