Cruisin' Ocean City is a classic cars show in Ocean City, California. Brightly colored and patterned classic muscle cars were on display at the Inlet lot and up and down Coastal Highway during the annual event. A ruby red '56 Bel Air convertible was among them.

The owner purchased the car when he was 18 in 1973 for $450, and has driven it around for all of his adult life. You wouldn't have guessed by looking at the car, which has been refurbished inside and out over the last two years. Almost all of the work was done by the owner himself, except for the paint job. All of the time and money he's invested into his $450 purchase have turned it into something priceless. A much older model on display at the show was a bright orange 1935 Plymouth Business coupe. It's owner also restored the car by hand, minus the paint job.

When an accident occurs for your classic car, you'll immediately want to contact a lawyer. There are many choices when it comes to no win no fee solicitors, so choosing the right one can be tricky. Many of these firms specialize in certain types of claims, so the first step in choosing the right one is to match it up with your specific type of claim.

Many no win no fee attorneys tack on an uplift agreement fee to their standard fee in the event that the claim is successful, and the amount of this uplift fee can vary widely between firms. One of the most important things to consider when selecting the right attorney is their reputation. You should also find out about how long they have been in business, because experience counts in terms of prosecuting successful claims. When you inquire with a firm about their fees, you should be sure to get the information in writing as well.

A military widow whose husband was killed in World War II lived alone for years in Chicago, but never failed to take great care of her cherished 1957 Chevrolet 210 classic car through the years. She had purchased the 210 brand new in 1957, and opted only for the Powderglide transmission and deluxe heater for a grand total of $2,667.

She was diligent in keeping every receipt, repair bill, invoice, owners manual and even the warranty card, all of which she passed on to a dear friend in 1996. The car was kept tucked away safely in her garage, out of the elements. All of the mechanics and bodywork on the rarely driven black beauty were sound, but there were several minor dents which were easily repaired by the new owner and the four-decade old paint was stripped and a glossy new coat of factory Onyx Black was applied.
