the Jorge Nicolini private museum and restoration center, in Peru. He was a go cart racing champion, and his father and uncles were the reps for Packard and Mack trucks in Peru



his first car was a 1925 Lincoln that was being used as a 40 year old taxi, in Peru... he saw it driving by and was struck that he had to have it. We all know that compulsive desire to own some car at some time in our youth.

Next he bought a Model T from up in the Andes mountains, won a contest for best preseved oldest Ford, where the prize was a 1965 Taunus, which he sold and bought 10 old cars with







 In 2002 he opened the museum of the cars he'd stored for so long, because the conditions of the countries government did not allow him to open a museum previously,  to show the Peruvians and the foreigners the cars that were in Peru, how people lived in Peru in the 40s, 50s, 60s, and to which Peruvian families these cars belonged to
