Patina – The Video

by Mike –

As I have written before – “patina” is an over used and abused concept designed to sell classic cars at a higher price than they would otherwise command.

Don’t fall for the tricks of the sellers who try to convince a buyer that dirt is patina and rust is good.

This video is really just a slide show of different types of patina.

Let us know what you think in the Comments.

  1. ~ Good video, I’m in agreement that patina, as it is so overused, should be cured. But I’d rather see a car passed along ‘as-found’ than have some hack commit a half-a22ed attempt at a restoration. Watching recent price/value equations is disconcerting, at best.
