Announcing the Collector Series

Today, I'm proud to introduce The Collector Series-an editorial publication celebrating the people, automobiles, and stories that define automotive culture.

Every collector has a story.
Every automobile has a history.
Together they become something worth preserving.

There is something extraordinary about stepping into a collector's garage.
It's rarely just about the automobiles.

Every vehicle represents a memory, a decision, a dream realized, or a chapter in someone's life. Over time, these collections become more than machines-they become deeply personal reflections of the people who built them.

That belief is what inspired The Collector Series.

I'm honored to announce that Mark Pieloch will be the inaugural feature in the Collector Series. His story will launch Collector Series No. 001, publishing later this month.

His story will be published later this month as Collector Series No. 001, marking the beginning of what I hope will become a growing archive of remarkable people and the automobiles they cherish.

One of the things I find most inspiring is that extraordinary collections come in every form.
They don't have to contain million-dollar automobiles.
Some of the most meaningful collections are built one car at a time over decades, each with a story worth telling.

As the Collector Series grows, I hope it becomes a place where these stories are preserved-not only for today's enthusiasts, but for future generations who will appreciate the passion, craftsmanship, and history behind every collection.

If you know someone whose story deserves to be preserved, I'd love to hear about them.

Every Collector Series story begins with one simple recommendation:

"You should meet this collector."

Thank you for joining me at the beginning of this journey.
I hope you'll enjoy following the remarkable people and unforgettable stories that lie ahead.

I look forward to sharing many more stories in the months and years ahead.
