OUR STORY
Silver Lining Auto Restoration is a family business located in Silverton, Oregon. While still a relatively young shop, we are enjoying our quick rise and notoriety in the competitive automobile restoration space.
The story of Silver Lining Auto Restoration began many years ago when owner Morrie Hozen was fifteen years old. Morrie’s father gave him a rundown classic car, some tools, and told him to get to work if he planned on driving at sixteen. He didn’t realize it at the time, but this project sparked a lifelong passion, teaching him the value of breathing new life into a beauty. The owner’s first automobile project—a Chevy truck (pictured on this page)—is where he fell in love with classic cars, and the passion for restorations never stopped.
After high school, Morrie Hozen started an electronics business. While it brought success, it lacked purpose. Dreaming about what his perfect day would look like, the same vision kept resurfacing: restoring classic cars. In 2012, Morrie decided to take a huge leap of faith, closing down his successful electronics business to open an unproven restoration shop that allowed him to follow his dreams. Since then, Silver Lining Auto Restoration has grown from a bold idea into a thriving family business dedicated to excellence.
OUR VISION
At Silver Lining Auto Restoration, our vision stems from a passion for classic cars and a commitment to addressing auto enthusiasts’ frustrations. Before starting Silver Lining, Morrie’s consulted countless car lovers, uncovering their biggest challenges: endless lead times and unreliable pricing. Our built our approach on top-quality work, skilled labor, and consistent progress, ensuring projects move forward weekly—keeping everyone excited for the final reveal.
To tackle pricing woes, we ditched large deposits and vague quotes for a time-plus-materials model sealed with a handshake. If a customer’s ever dissatisfied, they can take their vehicle—no hassle (though it hasn’t happened yet). Our vision is straightforward: deliver exceptional restorations with trust and integrity, turning your automobile dreams into reality. Contact us anytime to discuss your project!
