421: Driving the Future of Car Culture with RPM Foundation and Nick Ellis

What happens when the next generation no longer knows how to restore, preserve, or even understand the cars we love? This week on The Collector Car Podcast, I sit down with Nick Ellis of RPM Foundation to discuss one of the most important missions in the collector car world today: preserving the future of the hobby through education, apprenticeships, and hands on opportunities for young enthusiasts. We talk about the growing skills gap in the restoration world, why preserving automotive craftsmanship matters, and how RPM Foundation is connecting students with collectors, museums, and restoration shops before this knowledge disappears forever. If you care about the future of collector cars, concours preservation, vintage racing, restoration, or simply keeping automotive passion alive for the next generation, this is an episode you do not want to miss.
