Can A Classic Vehicle Be Daily Driver?

An article from the insurance company Progressive says that the cons of daily driving classic vehicles include older cars being uncomfortable, worse for the environment, and less fuel efficient. Obviously, Flo and Jamie (the main characters in the entertaining Progressive commercials) have never driven a restomod!

Yes, even restored classics can be headaches to own with finicky carburetors, mushy brakes, bouncy suspension setups, and interiors that might as well have been a metal box with some cushions, but the game totally changes in the world of modernized classics. And that’s where Velocity Restorations comes in.

By combining the authentic, timeless design of classic American cars and trucks with modern chassis and drivetrain, Velocity has created a new breed of vehicles that deliver vintage charm with the reliability, performance, and comfort of a contemporary car. So if you’re in search of a classic car that you can drive regardless of weather and/or season, look no further than a hand-crafted restomod from Velocity Restorations.

Ideal Traits For A Daily Driver

Regardless of the age and type of vehicle, an ideal daily driver should balance comfort, reliability, and practicality. Whether you’re exploring the countryside or cruising through the city, a restomod from Velocity Restorations proves that classic cars are ready for any drive.

Reliability

Reliability is the cornerstone of a good daily driver. The vehicle should consistently perform without frequent breakdowns or the need for constant repairs. When it comes to classic cars, adding modern powertrains and electrical systems eliminates the common reliability issues. A properly built restomod starts easily, runs smoothly, and easily handles daily commutes or long road trips.

Comfort

Comfort is essential for daily driver cars as it directly impacts the driving experience. Features like supportive seats, smooth suspension,  and luxurious touchpoints reduce fatigue and stress. Comfort enhances focus, promotes well-being, and makes routine trips more enjoyable, turning a necessary task into a pleasant experience.

Practicality

A classic car will never be practical in the same sense as a modern commuter car, but you still want a daily drivable classic to be easy to own and operate. All Velocity restomod builds are powered by a brand-new Ford Coyote V8 or GM LT1 V8, which are more powerful and more efficient than the original engines in a classic vehicle.

Why Restomods Make Perfect Daily Drivers

All restomods aren’t built the same, but Velocity Restorations has redefined this popular classic car segment with a vast selection of restored cars and trucks that are perfectly suited for tackling any drive: from daily commutes to weekend adventures. The versatility of Velocity’s restomods makes them suitable for various lifestyles. Need a rugged SUV for outdoor adventures? Check out the restored early Ford Bronco or classic Chevy K5 Blazer.

No matter which one you choose, these vehicles are tailored to fit the needs of their owners, ensuring practicality and individuality in equal measure.
