The Project-Beginning

The three Vanguard pick up trucks seen in this blog are part of a large dream. Promoting classic vehicles and not letting them be forgotten. As a 17 year old Standard car enthusiast I hope to do everything I can to achieve this goal!

 I have a dream to restore these Vanguards beyond their former glory. Resurrection is not an easy task and requires the help of many. I plan on bringing the body of this phase 2 Vanguard to prime condition. However, due to the conditions of where I live, it would be very inconvenient to own a stock vehicle as the truck would not be able to handle the rough roads and heavy traffic. I want a retro look that drives like a modern vehicle. I am sure some enthusiasts would call my idea of a "retro-mod" blasphemy or butchery but rest assured. I am giving this vehicle a chance to see the wind again. That in itself is a miracle. All this being said, I hope to promote awareness of the Standard Motor Co. and it's vehicles in anyway I can. I also wish to help other owners of similar models with parts and advice if they need it!

Looking forward to the future!
