Classic Car Collecting

Are you on the hunt for a rare Pontiac Firebird, the Ford GT, a Saab Sonnet from the 70s, or a 1966 Dodge Challenger? Classic car collecting is bigger than ever, and it isn’t about the money or value of the cars themselves.

We’ll bet that the mention of these vintage cars evokes memories for you. Collecting and admiring classic cars is part of a traditional American ideal, like baseball. Perhaps it’s a hobby, or part of who you are. Maybe it’s your escape from the monotony of every day life or just the thrill of cruising down the road in a car that holds secrets and memories from years long ago. You anxiously wait for that particular model to become available, and spend hours each weekend driving to and attending classic auto shows. For classic car fanatics (you’re not offended because it’s true!) classic car collecting is a real community. The auto shows, the endless hunt for a part you need, and the time invested in caring for your car – you’re all in it together as if it’s where you always belonged.

What started your interest in vintage cars? For countless people it was something they worked on with a parent or grandparent that they now in turn do with their child or grandchildren. Hours spent in a garage together huddled over an engine fine-tuning and perfecting can produce an unbreakable bond unlike any other; and you have something to show for it that you can be proud of.

The DFW area is a thriving community for those who love classic cars. No matter what your favorite car is, you’ll find it here. There’s the North Texas Mustang Club, the Porsche Club of America with a local Dallas chapter, the Corvette Club of Texas, and Dallas Area Classic Chevys. That’s just the start! For a full list of classic car clubs in your area, visit classiccarcommunity.com. Spring months are popular for classic auto shows, here are just a few that are coming up:
