American Classics: South Africa's Car Graveyard

A classic American car, the 1947 Pontiac is the pride and joy of Nosipho Kholutsoane. Her expertise in restoring vintage classic cars has earned her the nickname "Mother of broken cars".
She learned her trade from her husband - but he now works for her.
Join REV as we head to the Eastern Cape province of South Africa to meet the Mother of broken cars.

Nosipho, you are also unique, you inspire people and you accomplish the goal no matter what. I ask our Almighty to bless you and your family and your work. Amen🎀🌈⭐🏆🎖🏅🥇🥉❤

[@stewartw.9151]

Congratulations Nosipho. This is how success begins - people with a vision get to work and create the vision, and can profit by it. The spin off for the community who get involved, is that new activity can bring prosperity to many people. But it is not easy, nothing worthwhile is ever easy or everyone would be successful all the time! Determination and perseverance pays.

3:17 that 1970-71 Valiant Regal reminds me of my dad's 1970 Dodge Dart, except his was LHD and the 225 Slant Six

[@patrickcannell2258]

All South African Valiants had the slant six.

[@piercehawke8021]

@patrickcannell2258 correct but I was referencing the Aussie market cars; with their 215-265 'Hemi' Six. Edit; I erred referring to the Aussie market, my bad
