Chevrolet introduces "Chevrolet Vintage," a factory restoration program for classic models—exclusively available in Brazil.
Chevrolet has announced a new factory restoration initiative, dubbed Chevrolet Vintage, offering complete restorations and restomods for classic models. However, there’s a catch—the program is currently exclusive to Brazil.
Unlike many automakers that provide only limited support for their discontinued models, Chevrolet Vintage aims to deliver full-scale, factory-backed restorations. While European luxury brands such as Porsche, Jaguar, and Ferrari have long offered in-house restoration services, this move positions Chevrolet among the few mainstream manufacturers to enter the space—albeit in a specific regional market.
The program is expected to focus on classic Chevrolet models that hold significant cultural value in Brazil, where the brand has a deep-rooted history. While details on eligible vehicles and pricing remain limited, the initiative suggests Chevrolet’s commitment to preserving its heritage while catering to enthusiasts looking for period-correct restorations or performance-enhanced restomods.
For now, U.S. collectors and classic Chevrolet owners hoping for a similar service will have to look elsewhere. The brand has not indicated whether the Chevrolet Vintage program will expand beyond Brazil, leaving American enthusiasts reliant on aftermarket restoration shops.
As the demand for factory-certified restorations grows, Chevrolet’s move raises questions about whether similar programs could emerge in other markets. Until then, Brazilian Chevrolet fans are the only ones who will get the chance to see their classic Chevys returned to showroom condition—straight from the factory.
