There is nothing like taking a ride in your classic car on Sunday and going to one of the Classic Car Shows. Spring is coming and all the gear heads are getting ready. If you are like me, my garage is heated and I have worked on my car all winter long. Some repairs were just to make sure it was still right and other parts did need fixing.
Yes this is one mechanical device that gets torn up even if it is not working. I know the old saying “if it’s not broken don’t fix it” but that does not apply to a classic car. Most are 20 or more years old and the metal will have some fatigue to it. This must be checked. I know some car collectors build their cars for the show and an occasional Sunday drive, but not me. I bought and built my classic car to drive and enjoy.
When I get in my other car it just seems wrong. The doors are so light and the noise and comfort level is just not there. I do get better gas mileage but it won’t get out of its own way. I guess it is just what one gets used to.
The kids nowadays are amazed at the old cars and the difference between them and the new ones. You can always tell when a kid has never been in an old car and they have trouble closing the door. I always tell them ”that is made out of real metal”.
I am so glad the classic car shows are still go on. Spring is in the air and I am ready to place my baby in the show.
Notice: You are welcome to post your American Classic Car For Sale advertisement on this Blog. We have good coverage and steady readers now. We run the Honor System for payment as in you do not have to pay anything at the time you place the ad. When the car sells you are on your honor to send us fifty bucks. That’s a great deal and you will put your for sale ad in a very targeted group of collectors. Refer to other posts for the procedure.
Hi.
