It's all a matter of interpretation. My immediate response was: "I'm not even sure how I'm supposed to look prior to a classic car."

Amusing. That doesn't unambiguously scan for me either. Too many different meanings for "look" and "after." You could parse that several ways. Like "How to spot what's behind a classic car." IMHO, "How to care for a classic car." would be far better.
