How Long Have You Owned Your Classic Car?

Mr. Allen Swift of Springfield, MA. received a 1928 Rolls-Royce Picadilly P1 Roadster from his father, brand new - as a graduation gift in 1928. He drove it up until his death last year.....at the age of 102 !!! He was the oldest living owner of a car from new. Just thought you'd like to see it. He donated it to a Springfield museum after his death. It has 170,000 miles on it, still runs like a Swiss watch, dead silent at any speed and is in perfect cosmetic condition. (82 years) ...That's approximately 2000 miles per year!

Classic Car Restoration! Is It Worth Restoring Dads Car?

Classic car lovers know that restoring classic cars is not considered a labored, dull and enjoy less work! Quite the contrary, it is a hobby that one can take pleasure in while preserving a piece of automobile history and making a bit of money on that same fun!

I do know a couple of guys that all they do is scrounge the market for classic cars that are thirty or more years old, give it good restoration where necessary and sell them off for a profit!

Yep! Money can be made with classic cars, but you have to be a classic car enthusiast and know how to do most of the work yourself! You can get someone professional to restore your classic car, but that will come out very expensive.

Yourself, as a classic car enthusiast will get more pleasure if you restore it on your own.
