“I have always been fascinated with vintage cars, especially the Cadillac. This was in bad shape when I acquired it. I had to restore it completely. Now you can order parts on Amazon globally and have them shipped to India so it is easier to restore vintage cars as compared to previously,” said Parmeet Bhalla
