Which recent car models could potentially become a coveted vintage car in 30 years?
List them. I think the new Mustang and other sport cars would be an obvious choice. Try to think of some more obscure ones.
What is the cheapest car that has some potential?
I mean some old cars that were mid-range price look nice today because of the vintage style and they were taken care of.

Collecting Toy Airplanes
Most people engage in different hobbies as a distraction from their everyday lives. When people consider a particular activity as a hobby typically people find that the activity pleasurable and enjoyable. Collecting toy airplanes is a hobby for some and a passion for others.
Toy collections start out innocently, people unpack belongings stored in attics and basements only to find toy airplanes from their youth. They become enamored with these remnants of their childhoods and begin their quest to increase their collection.
Another way toy collectors get started is through the purchase of a miniature model. These tiny toy replicas can be cars, trucks or airplanes. Next thing you know, they’re hooked on collecting miniature toy airplanes and find their collection growing.
A third way to start collecting toy airplanes is through gifts. When it becomes apparent that you or a loved one has a collection, then you can grow your collection through gift giving. When birthdays and holidays arrive, your collection will simply grow and grow.
Toy Airplane Guide Books
Once you know what kind of toy you want to start to collect, you’ll need to find guide books. There will be two kinds of guides you’ll need. The first will be your guide to collecting. This guide will entail the different kinds of toy airplanes, the different models, the different models, and the history. Learn as much as you can about the type of toy airplanes that you want to collect.
The next guide book you will need is a price guide. Purchase a price guide for the type of toy airplanes that you have decided to collect. There are price guides for just about every kind of toy from toy airplanes, cars, and trucks to plastic farm animals, dolls and stuffed animals. There are also price guides specifically for antique or vintage toy airplanes.
You can find guide books at your local bookstore or an on line bookstore. There are many books available at libraries and bookstores, as well as on line guides, that will help him learn the necessary information so that you are a smart toy collector.
Toy Airplane Collection Groups
Once you’ve established a collection and you have read the guide books and price guides, your next step will be to join an on line toy collectors group. These groups are filled with others who have similar interests and will want to share your love of toy airplanes, and your toy collection. Moreover these groups will have forums for you take part in discussions and have a lot of resources for toy collectors.
Toy Airplane Collection Stores
As your collection grows you will find it harder and harder to find specific toy airplanes that you will need for your collection. However, there are many options for you to purchase hard to find toy airplanes.
Scour local antique and collectible stores, flea markets, thrift stores and garage sales in your area, you may find hidden gems to add to your collection. The Internet is full of on line auction sites, vintage toy sites and antique and collectible sites. Also, there are on line classified ads that you can scour as well. You can also attend local toy shows that take place throughout the year.

Classic cars for sale are big business these days. There is no shortage of unscrupulous people who will take your money and vanish!
To be a knowledgeable buyer, the biggest chunk of your time will be spent in what I call the homework or prep stage. Probably 70 percent of your time will be spent studying classic car sale information, researching, and consulting with trusted friends or experts as to the authenticity and details of the car. After you have done your homework, the rest is a simple buying transaction. The more prepared a buyer, the smoother and faster the transaction.
What this means is you will need to invest the necessary time and money to thoroughly research what you are buying. It is all about the preparation. The one thing that rings true is either you are going to spend the time or money to investigate your potential purchase or you hire an expert to handle the transaction for start to finish.
Three Tips to Prevent Classic Car Scams
1. Know What You Want to Purchase
The top details for clarity are knowing what you are looking for, how much you have to spend, and how far you are willing to travel. Buying a vintage classic or muscle car is an exercise in search and process of elimination. Think of yourself as a modern day Sherlock Holmes. There is no use in looking at a show car if you can realistically only afford a project car or a weekend cruiser.
Because the internet has made our world smaller, do not waste a buyer’s time if they live halfway across the country and you are only willing to buy locally.
Check the NADA price guide so you have a ballpark of what the car will cost depending on condition. If the deal is too good to be true, (Are you really going to buy a 1969 Camaro in great condition for $5000?) then it could be scam. If you contact the seller and they insist on wiring a deposit, then you will know for sure it is a scam. Guaranteed you will never see the cash again!
2. Research Your Vehicle
Buying a classic car has become serious business. Classic cars for sale are now selling for what I paid for my first house. Would you buy a house with out having a house inspection? Probably not. The same goes with buying a muscle car for sale. Do your research. Get as much information as you can about the make, model, and year, and options of the car. The more educated you are about the car, the better you can negotiate if needed. And it also indicates to the seller that you know what you are talking about.
The internet makes it easy to do research. Join a forum that is focused on the type of car you are looking to buy. I know serious car collectors who will not buy a car unless they bring in an expert or guru to look at it first. If it is good enough for them, it is probably an idea you may want to consider. There nothing wrong about not knowing everything about a car. You definitely want to avoid paying for what looks like a highly desirable car only to find out that it is a clone.
Many people have saved themselves thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars just by paying an expert to inspect and document a car. If the car is extremely desirable and rare, the old adage of you can pay me now, or you can pay me later applies. Either hire an expert, or talk with someone you trust who can help you look at the car. Online car forums and clubs are great resources for this type of information.
3) Make Sure All Your Questions Get Answered
Do not be afraid to ask questions. Having clarity gives you the confidence to make a buying decision. This serves many purposes. Before you physically look at the car, contact the seller and ask the important questions.
Here are a number of key questions to ask the seller even if the details are not mentioned in the ad (This can double check the seller’s credibility that they really do know the details about their car). I find asking questions in categories is useful in organizing the information.
Engine, Drive Train, Options
* What is original to the car? (Engine, transmission, differential)
* Drive train specs (hp, engine size, rear axle ratio, transmission type)
* Options - A/C PS, PB, Vinyl roof, trim packages
* How does it run?
Body and Interior
* Interior color and condition?
* Body panels original, any accidents, frame damage, paint and body panel condition?
* Currently inspected and roadworthy or project restoration car?
* Mileage and any known mechanical problems?
Title and Price
* Does the car have a “clean” title?
* What is the asking price or at least a ballpark figure
How does it look?
* Can you get detailed digital pictures? If so, get A LOT so you can see every detail.
* Send to experts or post on a forum for opinions. The seller may think the car is all original, but may not know. An expert can spot the obvious.
Logistics
* Will they allow you to bring in an expert, or independent third party to
inspect and verify the car (If not, RUN from the deal. Do not walk)?
* Is there a place locally where you could arrange to put the car up on
a lift and do a visual and physical inspection?
This may sound like a lot of work, but it is fundamental for a solid transaction where you get exactly what you want.
The best piece of advice I can offer is to remember you are in control of the
transaction. If there is something that does not feel right about the car or the seller or anything related to the transaction, let it go. This includes being pressured by a seller to make a quick decision. If a deal is going to work, it needs to be natural and a win-win situation for both parties. There is normally something fishy going on, if a seller starts to hard close a deal. There is no use in trying to force a deal to work from either party.

What type is the car in the comic strip Grand Avenue? I really like it, but I have no idea what it is.
Thanks!
It looks like a 1959 Cadillac Series 62 convertible.
The car with the largest tailfins ever produced. Big money these days.

Classic cars are a part of American culture, especially when you go with a domestic model that got its start in this country. These cars have withstood the test of time and continue to strut their stuff on the roadways today. You can find classics from all makes and models, but some are considered cooler than others. To find a classic car that will get noticed on the road, check out these five favorites. We also have a few shopping tips to help you find the best classic car for you.
1. The Ford Mustang
This car is cool all over, whether you opt for the convertible model or the fastback that is rapidly gaining popularity. The years to shop for in this classic car are generally 1965 and 1966, but you can also find some desirable selections in the 1995 Cobra and the 1965 GT. Cherry red with a white interior is the ideal style, but sexy black is another popular color.
2. The Chevrolet Chevelle
This muscle car is particularly popular in the 1968 Pro Street that was designed shorter and sportier. This car is all about power with a massive big-block engine and plenty of horsepower to boast about. Because this car is still in great demand, it can be easy to get a lemon if you are not careful. If you are in the market for a Chevelle, proceed with caution to ensure that you get your money’s worth.
3. The Chevrolet Impala
Chevy is the car manufacturer with some of the best classic car potential, and the Impala is another example of that. The SS from 1962 is a brilliant combination of class and muscle, with the convertibles adding a sporting flair. If you go with this model, make sure you choose a car with hydraulic rams since this vehicle tends to run a little too low to the ground without them.
4. The VW Beetle
No, this car is not domestic, but the huge number of them on American roads would suggest otherwise. Did anyone else play the road trip game where you counted the number of beetles that you find on the road? Today, this model is still just as popular, with used cars getting snatched up almost as fast as the originals. The late sixty and early seventy models are in the highest demand, with the convertibles weighing in as a popular choice.
5. The Chevrolet Camaro
There are few things sexier than a Chevrolet Camaro, no matter what year model you choose. However, the designs from the late sixties are some of the most popular, with speed, handling and looks all taken into consideration. The popularity of the model has made it a bit hit or miss in the resale arena, so proceed with caution if you are in the market for one of these.
Classic cars are a fun way to drive with vintage style, and many of these models are still hot on the market today. Check out the resales in your area to find the classic car of your dreams.
