We've told you we visit some amazing shops.

This week is proof positive, as we give you an inside look at Chicagoland's Cooper Technica. This high-end restoration facility specializes in rare and valuable vintage autos. During a recent stop, we saw a couple of 1942 Alfa's being restored (ultra rare as the war was raging and nearly all materials were being used for the military), as well as a Viosin Aerodyne, and other incredible treasures. They also have a "three olive" machine they are restoring for metal working. Cooper Technica produces world class restorations that are at home at Goodwood, Pebble Beach, etc.

For a real treat, check out their website-- and if you own a truly special car that needs attention, you'll find no better place to bring it back to life. https://www.coopertechnica.com/ 312-733-4700
