Who will replace the skilled craftspeople restoring our collector cars today? Every year, more restoration experts retire—and fewer young people are stepping in to learn the craft. The result? A growing skills gap that threatens the future of car culture itself. At Piston, we’re changing that. 🔧 Through scholarships, apprenticeships, and industry partnerships, we’re helping passionate young people build careers in automotive restoration—and keeping craftsmanship alive for generations to come. Because every restored car tells two stories: the car’s, and the craftsperson’s. And both deserve to be preserved. ➡️ Swipe through to see why the restoration skills gap matters—and how we’re closing it. #pistonfoundation #automotiverestoration #carculture #skilledtrades #futureofwork #craftsmanship #classiccars #carcommunity #collectorcar #carrestoration #tradeseducation #carenthusiast #preservecraft #futuretechnicians #nonprofit 07 Oct 2025

Our mission is to bring more young people into the collector car industry. By funding skilled trades programs in collector cars, we’re working to help today’s craftspeople transfer their skills to a new generation and help young technicians build rewarding careers in the trades and services of the collector car industry. #pistonfoundation #skilledtrades #carculture #scholarships #education #classiccars #automotive #carcareers #automotivetech #automotiveshop 05 May 2025

Meet Piston Foundation board member Michael Chapin, CEO of @petrolicious, President at @dupontregistry and a longtime supporter of Piston’s mission. “The world is recognizing just how valuable the trades are, but there still aren’t enough accessible pathways into them, especially when it comes to financial support.” For Michael, supporting Piston is personal. After his high school eliminated its shop and mechanics courses, he saw firsthand how easily students can lose the opportunity to discover a passion for the trades. That’s why Piston’s mission matters: helping remove barriers and giving the next generation a chance to turn an interest in cars into a meaningful career.

Because the future of the collector car world isn’t just about preserving the cars, it’s about investing in the people who will carry the passion forward. #audrainconcours #newportri #scholarships #carcommunity #classiccars 04 Oct 2026

We’re at the Audrain Supercar Concours today, surrounded by some of the most incredible cars in the world, and the people who share a passion for them. Events like this are a reminder that the collector car world is about more than the cars themselves.

For anyone here this weekend wondering how to turn a passion for cars into a career, the Piston Foundation’s Career Guide is a great place to start. Explore careers in automotive restoration, learn what skills and training they require, and discover pathways into the industry. Find the Career Guide on the Piston Foundation website and start exploring where your passion can take you. 🏁 #AudrainMotorWeek #PistonFoundation #CollectorCars @audrainautomuseum @audrainconcours 04 Oct 2026
