February 18, 2012, Meet Wayne Carini: Chasing Classic Cars, The Program is Free and Open to the Public, The Waterford Public Library, 49 Rope Ferry Road, Waterford, CT, 2pm - 4 pm
With a lifetime of experience in automobile restoration under his belt, master car restorer Wayne Carini has a resume that includes body and paint work on rare car collections owned by the likes of David Letterman, Ivan Lendl and the DuPont family. He's been featured in the New York Times , and his hit TV series, Chasing Classic Cars on the Discovery channel, gives viewers a true insider's look into Wayne's inner circle as he embarks on his personal mission to uncover the world's most rare and exotic cars.
Wayne welcomes you into the elite club of car restorers and collectors as he buys, restores and sells vintage rides, and the owners of the most exclusive and secret garages open up their doors only to Wayne. His business F40 Motorsports in Portland,CT., buys and sells vintage classic cars. At home Wayne is a dedicated father of two daughters and husband of 24 years. The family resides in rural Connecticut, in a log home that Wayne built 33 years ago. An avid supporter of autism research organizations, Wayne helps organize and sponsor car events for the benefit of children and adults with autism. His incentive to find a cure or treatment is his youngest daughter, who was diagnosed with autism at an early age. Wayne is also involved in and regularly attends many different car clubs and events to get young people involved in the car collector hobby. He believes that without young people's involvement, the car collector tradition will disappear. His latest passion is convincing families with special needs children to consider placing collector cars into a special needs trust with the hope that the cars will benefit the children in the future.
A question and answer period will follow the formal presentation.
