The Classics by Horizon Detail
A Special Collection of Classic Cars
This collection holds a very special place in our portfolio. We're still building out the gallery, we have thousands of photos and videos to sort through, but we wanted to start sharing what we do, the results we achieve, and the caliber of vehicles we're trusted to care for.
Each of these has received our Signature Paint Correction and Ceramic Coating services. Together, they represent over 100 years of American automotive history, and it's an honor to be part of preserving them.
We hope you enjoy looking at them as much as we enjoy working on them!

This is the collection I've had the pleasure of working on for the last 5 years. Each and everyone of these has been a unique experience rooted in bringing history into the modern era. A lot of these pictures are from BEFORE I started working on the collection, scroll down to see some of the finished work!
Our Proudest Review
Don't take our word for it - talk is cheap.
I'm honored to work on my clients' vehicles, and I'm proud when that work gets recognized. When someone trusts you with a 35+ car collection spanning over a century of automotive history, that's not just a compliment, it's a responsibility.
For me, that's fuel. It's why I keep pushing to get better, keep refining the process, keep learning. Even at 50, I'm still figuring out ways to improve.
And I hope that shows in the work.
"I have a collection of 35 cars ranging from a 1908 Buick to a 2024 Corvette. Mike has done a superior job cleaning and detailing all of my vehicles including a 1929 Pierce-Arrow I recently purchased. I would hesitate trusting any one else with my car collection."

Our Classic Spotlight
We'll feature a different car here from time to time as we rotate through our portfolio. This time around our spotlight will focus on an incredible piece of American Automotive History. This recently completely 1929 Pierce Arrow Model 143B.
We believe she was restored sometime in the 1980s. The paint type is hard to nail down, I suspect it's a lacquer which really makes things interesting when you're correcting and polishing. It could also be a mix of lacquer in the darker green and a two stage system on the lighter green, but I highly suspect it's a lacquer finish which would have been era appropriate but also pretty rare for an 80's restore as a single stage enamel would have been far more popular in the 80s. The previous owner was likely shooting for era correct and I can tell you based on the over all condition, this vehicle is a spectacular example and the previous owners obviously cared for her.
I'm honored to be a part of this latest restoration effort. We completely refinished all exposed and accessible paint, hand polished the brightwork, and applied our signature ceramic coating to lock our amazing finish in for years to come. We hope you enjoy it!
The Journey
This collection means everything to me. It's the crown jewel of my work - not just because it showcases what I can do with automotive paint finishes, but because of what it represents.
Over 100 years of automotive history. A 1908 Buick to a 2024 Corvette. Five generations of Corvettes in between. This isn't just a collection of old cars - it's a living piece of history. Each one has its own story, and I get to be part of preserving them.
That's humbling. And it reminds me that 100 years from now, someone might appreciate the work I'm doing today the same way I'm honored to work on these cars right now.
