Having a worthy car collection requires extensive knowledge of vehicles, automotive history, dedication and passion. The cars are kept in pristine condition and are housed in the custom 6000 sq. foot facility Jon built in 2010. No trailer queens here, they are not just collected and sitting pretty. Jon works on the cars, maintains, and appreciates driving them on the open road. Every automobile that has played a part in The Torrence Collection has their own sentimental value and meaning to the Jon — who explains his passion for cars like this; "Cars are timeless functional art, it’s hard to say that any one is more noteworthy than the other. There are small attributes about each one that you love, whether it's the way it handles and drives, the way it looks, the torque of the engine, or even the history behind the car. They each have their own mannerisms, spirit, and qualities that are very endearing to me.” For this reason, the automobiles in The Torrence Collection have more than monetary value. Jon has a connection with each one of the cars. This bond allows him to enjoy every vehicle in his collection on an appreciative level. Thus, creating a priceless and truly perfect car collection.
