About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little boy walking to school noticed something strange outside Vintage Bodyworks. As he passed the workshop, he heard an unfamiliar sound—a soft humming coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man polishing a vintage car, but what caught his eye was not just any car—it had glowing blue lights under its hood. The boy asked the old man, ‘What’s that shiny light?’ The man smiled and replied, ‘Just a little magic to make your ride purr like a kitten.’ Later that day, when the boy’s mom dropped him off at school, she joked, ‘Did you tell them about the magical car again?’ He shrugged, grinning, ‘No, Mom, I didn’t want to scare them away!’

2. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Vintage Bodyworks and yelled, ‘Hey, where’s my package?’ The mechanic just shrugged and said, ‘Dunno, but I found your lunchbox full of sandwiches!’ The delivery driver laughed it off, saying, 'At least you fed me!' Then, as he left, he waved goodbye to the curious neighbors who had gathered around. From that day on, whenever anyone asked about Vintage Bodyworks, they’d say, 'Oh, that place? They might fix your car, or they might feed you first.'

3. Early one foggy morning, a mechanic at Vintage Bodyworks heard an odd noise coming from under the hood of an old car. As he peered inside, he saw something that made him laugh out loud—an adorable goldfish swimming in a tiny fishbowl attached to the engine block. The mechanic carefully removed the bowl and set it aside. Turns out, the goldfish was just as curious about cars as any other pet. After fixing the engine, he gave the fish back to its owner—a delivery driver who’d been too busy to notice his little companion’s adventure. The next day, everyone in town knew about the talking fish and Vintage Bodyworks’ unique charm.
