Google has launched a new Search Generative Experience feature aimed at vintage car enthusiasts and restoration experts. Called SGE for Vintage Car Restoration, the tool uses artificial intelligence to deliver tailored information during classic vehicle repair projects. Users can now ask specific questions about parts compatibility, original paint codes, or troubleshooting mechanical issues from past decades.

The system pulls data from trusted automotive archives, manufacturer manuals, and community forums. It organizes this information into clear, step-by-step guidance. This helps users avoid common mistakes when working on rare or discontinued models. Google says the feature understands context better than standard search results. For example, if someone searches for “1967 Mustang carburetor adjustment,” SGE shows relevant diagrams, torque specs, and video tutorials all in one view.
Early testers include hobbyists and professional mechanics. Many reported faster project completion times and fewer trips to specialty shops. One user restored a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air using only SGE suggestions for sourcing trim pieces and matching interior fabric. Google built the tool after noticing a steady rise in vintage car-related queries over the last five years.

SGE for Vintage Car Restoration works on desktop and mobile devices. It is part of Google’s broader effort to make complex tasks easier through conversational search. The feature rolls out today in the United States and will expand to other countries later this year. No extra app download is needed. Users simply type their question into Google Search as usual. The updated interface highlights restoration-specific answers with visual aids and source links. Google says it plans to add support for more makes and model years based on user feedback.
