Classic car trader, auctions and classifieds
Classic car traders have become more and more popular as time passes, especially as people relish the shape of their classic cars and the sound of their engines, and love the buzz they get every time they go for a drive.
Demand for classic cars
Why is there demand? Some reasons for this could be that people are not very impressed with the modern car designs. An almost all plastic look, no fins, smooth and round, and virtually no chrome at all.
Here is a photo of a 1960/61 holden sedan. Look at the chrome on it and it even has a chrome grille. You can’t see them properly but it also has fins. What a little beauty.
New car look
It could be said that the smooth and round plastic new car look does not have any classic car appeal and as a result people are looking more and more to an older classic car which they can restore. Hence, classic car traders are in demand.
Aerodynamics
As far as can be determined the rounded and smooth look is to reduce drag, for pedestrians to roll up the bonnet when hit, save on fuel and so on. Generally all this has done is turn the stomach of died in the wool classic car buffs.
It has been said that the aerodynamic fuel saving function does not commence to work until a car reaches somewhere around 80 kilometres an hour or more.
Most city cars hardly ever see the open road and therefore an aerodynamic design is of no importance at all to them.
Bright shiny new car paintwork
One of the things which new car manufacturers are doing is to paint their cars in bright colours, supposedly to obtain the interest of car buffs. It has worked to a degree but the amount of interest in older classics certainly is not diminishing.
Probably all classic car enthusiasts own a new or not so new plastic car, but they really do not have any other options. They simply have to buy what the manufacturers dish out.
Classic cars for sale
Whether a classic car is for sale by a dealer or the people down the road there is always interest and demand. They just seem to brighten up your day.
