You don't have to own a classic car to enjoy one

This is the type of weather that brings out all the classic and antique cars on the road. Owners take their pride and joy out from the safety of their winter storage and let them do what they were made to do: drive the highways with the tops down, the antique radios playing, and best of all, the pedestrians waving.

If you have never been a passenger in a classic car then you have missed a treat. Driving down the road with the sun shinning and the wind blowing through your hair is just a part of the thrill. Sitting on real leather seats, and, having lots of room for comfort one is reminded of how cars used to be.

Better yet is the smile and waves you get as you drive past pedestrians, or the look of awe from people's faces as they pull up in the car next to you. Everybody loves a classic or antique car, keep your eyes open for one on a road near you. And if you want more information, every city has a classic car club, why not check it out. You don't even need to own one.

The Buying and Selling of Classic Cars

Filed in archive Classic Cars on July 1, 2010

For months now, I have been looking for a place to sell classic cars. Many of the car dealerships don't deal with classic cars as most people either can't afford them, or simply prefer a newer model. After coming across a classic car and restoring it, even adding a few of the more modern conveniences we're used to in this day and age, the price can get pretty high.

The estimated price for a classic car, depending on the model and year it was made, can start at near $15,000. With a price tag like that, it's almost a bad investment, considering a new car costs about the same. But, if you're into cars and want it for more nostalgic purposes, it's a reasonable price. It isn't a car for running to the grocery store in, it's a collector's item. So, the next time you pass a dealership that does happen to sell classic cars, stop in and take a look.

Classic Car- The 1987 Monte Carlo

Filed in archive Classic Cars on July 1, 2010

A classic car worth owning is the 1987 Monte Carlo. I know the newer models have a slimmer, sleeker design, and some of the more recent ones are a spin off of the original, but the 87 Monte Carlo is truly a one of a kind. The classic Monte Carlo has been used in many movies on the big screen, including being heavily featured on "Boys in the Hood". Even more recently, a Monte Carlo can be spotted in the "The Fast and Furious" movie. While it might not have all the modern features many of us are use to (compact disk player or surround sound speakers) it is one of the fewer cars that had power locks and power windows. Some even have a cassette player, if you're feeling nostalgic. If you're in the market to get your hands on a classic car, I would highly recommend the 1987 Monte Carlo. It, if nothing else, just looks cool.

The Monza

Filed in archive Classic Cars on July 1, 2010

The same year I was born, my father bought a 1975 Chevy Monza. My mother was convinced we couldn't afford it, and certainly it wasn't the typical "family car", but my dad always had a soft spot for classic seventies cars. It was a two door, and barely enough room in the back seat for a car seat, but he managed to make it work.

Over the years, that poor car saw a lot of wear and tear; from trips from Michigan to Chicago, from Chicago to California, then from California back to Michigan, my father put some serious mileage on that car.

"That's classic cars for ya. It takes a lickin and keeps on tickin'" he'd tell my mother, who finally came around to his way of thinking after they survived in a snow storm on their way back from a trip to visit my grandparents in Illinois.

the coolest classic car

Filed in archive Cars on May 31, 2010

Owning a classic car is like owning a piece of human pride and heritage. It should be shown off with pride and not hidden away for the eye to not see. In my opinion the 1969 Camaro ss is the most beautiful American made device. Its smooth and sleek and full of power. What man in his right mind wouldn't want one of those. The idea of cruising along in a classic car with a beautiful girl beside you is widely used in American pop culture. And the Camaro is one of those used most. What use is a car you cant fix as well. Classic cars make a man want to work on them. And the classic car provides that opportunity for anyone who wants to get greasy and come out with something wonderful at the end of the day. Any one can take pride in owning an American classic car.
