Gabe Hrib may be the coolest kid at his school. The young man from Marietta is the owner of a 1957 Mercedes 190 SL.

He and his father have a love for classic cars and they both worked to restore this beauty.

Like Hrib, there are so many people in metro Atlanta who love their classic cars.

From Fayette to Forsyth counties, these beautiful machines can be seen cruising the back roads and highways of this state.

This video series has been created to showcase some of the fantastic cars in metro Atlanta and the people who put in the time, sweat and money to keep the tires rolling and the engines humming.
