Patrick bootstrapped his first collector car business in 2003 after a career as an Executive Recruiter within the Information Technology sector during the "tech-boom" which began in the mid-1990's.  As an I.T. Recruiter and Consultant to the e-Commerce, Electronic Trading, and Insurance industries, he pioneered internet sourcing, marketing, and selection practices to build high-performance teams in mission-critical business units within companies such as IBM, Walgreens, Discover Card, Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and Allstate Insurance.

He also grew up learning how to wrench, restore, tune, and drive American Muscle Cars, owning 13 cars within two years in high school and more since, everything from Mopars, to Mustangs, to Chevelles and GTO’s. Starting Show Your Auto was an opportunity for Patrick to marry his skills honed in the business world with his innate passion for automobiles. "I know that to pursue and purchase a rare collectible car is not just a buying decision, or even just an investment decision, this is about fulfilling your heart's desire, one that has been there since you were a boy, if you were like me."

Today, Rev Muscle Cars uses the same commitment to best practices in marketing and selection to take the hassle out of selling and the risk out of buying collectible cars.  Rev! has worked hard to become a valued resource to private owners and pay back into the enthusiast community.

Laurie is an expert in operations, organization, and efficiency. Laurie has been Patrick's main support since he started his first business in 2003. After working in the laboratory industry for nine years followed by the meeting planning industry for five years, Laurie came home from the workforce to join forces with her husband as the other side to his business. Laurie handles contracts, paperwork, finances, administrative functions and Social Media for Rev Muscle Cars.

Rev Muscle Cars (Rev!) welcomes Tom "Tommy Driver" Dankel, who joins our team as the West Coast Field Agent and resident Shelby Specialist.

As a young impressionable 5 year old, Toms father ordered new in the fall of 1966, a 1967 Mustang Fastback powered by the venerable K-code. The family participated in Rallyes, parades and shows in the late 60's and early 70's, so when Tom donates blood, you can see why it has a shade of Ford blue in it.

While Toms expertise is primarily in the Blue Oval, he considers himself a non-denominational petrol head having owned, Mopars, Pontiacs, And Chevy Muscle cars, as well as Porsches, BMW & Mercedes and many motorcycles.

Shelby's are his first love, and he has been a member of the Shelby American Automobile Club (SAAC) since 1981, a member (and past Editor, current Social Media Director & Board Member at Large) at NorCal SAAC since 1985, and State Director for the Pacific Region of Team Shelby.

"I've had decades of fun from the hard work of others, and now it's my turn to give back to the people, lifestyle to keep this hobby growing and fun," says Dankel

Tom brings with him many contacts from varied marques. Have a question, just ask, if he doesn't know the answer, he knows someone who does.

"Talking to Patrick a couple of years ago, I quickly found out we were, as they say, cut from the same cloth, and when presented this opportunity to work together and help people realize, what for many is a life long dream, was something I wanted to be a part of."

As Tom liked to sign off in his monthly column "From the Desk of the Editor", "Until next time, motor on".
