Vintage beauty comes in many forms
at Chester County’s D.L. George Historic Motorcars.

There’s plenty to catch your eye at D.L. George Historic Motorcars—just not outside. The shop is housed in a nondescript former mushroom house in Cochranville, its cinderblock structure painted a low-key tan with blue trim. Established in
1982, DLG is a full-service restoration haven for historic European motorcars from the prewar and early postwar eras. Many are sports and racing vehicles owned by the
world’s most demanding collectors. You can find them exhibited at Pebble Beach, Villa d’Este and other concours events, raced at esteemed tracks like Lime Rock and Laguna Seca, and rallied at Mille Miglia and other historic locales.
DLG’s 14,000-square-foot facility is home to a
full-scale museum. Color, details, research—everything
is precise here. One beauty, a Dino 246 GT Ferrari, is being painted in “viola metallizzato”—purple to most of us.
