The Fossmobile

Classic cars and their owners are featured in RADICAL RESTORATION, a look at the work that is required to restore, renew, and rejuvenate vehicles that are remnants of the past. Every car has a story, and every owner has their own reason for wanting to restore them. RADICAL RESTORATION showcases the work it takes to preserve and modify vehicles that have historical or sentimental value.
