If you are into old cars then definitely take an auto-rickshaw out to the Vintage Collection of Classic Cars. Extensive collection of valuable old cars and many of the most unique autos ever created! Fine specimens of beautiful automobiles. A vintage car is, in the most general sense, an old automobile, and in the In today's terms, a vintage car is defined the same as a classic.

We will never see cars like that again. Now they all look nearly the same except for the logo. I’m not a car guy but that even makes me sad.

Many of those old cars are self propelled works of art.

Beautiful works or rolling art. Nowadays I’m excited to see any old classic car in good restored condition, even a mundane Ford Falcon or Plymouth looks exotic and stylish compared with todays look-alike people carriers.

Wonderful cars! You made me break a commandment (the “thou shalt not covet” one).

Here's my quest for a classic or vintage car:

RE: the 1930 Isotta-Fraschini (ee-SOH-tah Fra-SKI-nee) 8A SS Castagna Torpedo Sport, the car owned by the crazy old over-the-hill actress in the Film Noir classic Sunset Boulevard was a 1929 Isotta Fraschini Castanga-bodied limousine. That particular car was bought new by Walter Chrysler. Straight-8 under the hood. It was so luxurious and meticulously built that it had ground glass headlamp lenses, like in a telescope. And there was a grooming kit in a cubby in the back seat with a tortoise shell hair brush, comb and mirror. Very popular model with the big stars in the silent film era.

Erich von Stroheim, the valet/chauffeur/ex-husband in the film couldn't drive. They trailered the car onto the film studio lot so they could get footage of von Stroheim at the wheel the car in a controlled environment and he crashed it anyway.

Will the Prius ever be considered vintage?..... : )

It was really nice to see so many pre-war European cars. The Voisin is a very rare French car that was on par with the Dusenburg. There are very few Voisin’s left, they were very beautiful and very fast for a car made in the 30’s.

Today’s cars remind me of the Jetsons... everyone had the exact same looking vehicle. Some were longer (buses), but that’s about it.

What I love about these cars is that the represent a period when anything was possible. The height of the Classic Car was the early 1930s — just as the world turned Left and into ruin.

There’s no irony in that, just sad.
