There are some people who do love to collect cars especially those classics. One of the more famous celebrities who do own a great deal of vehicles - classic or not - is Jay Leno and he has around hundreds of these vehicles in his garage, or collection. You, too, can have and start your own collection of vehicles if you do have that much money to spare. After all, you would want to have a vehicle in your collection that not only looks good but also performs and runs well too.
Classic cars are one of the most famous units that are included in car collections. If you would like to have a classic car, it is best if you know how to choose a classic that is worth buying. Knowledge could be taken from a value guide which you can buy in auto stores and some book stores. These value guides actually provide you in clear terms what various cars in various conditions are really worth. You see, two models which are similar could be worth different values.
While looking at a possible buy, consider the condition of the vehicle. Generally, these cars are rated with the scale of 1 to 5. 1 is the best condition and is includes vehicles that are the ideal car show entrants. Those that are in condition 2 could be those at car shows. As per conditions 3 and 4, they are mostly those that are constantly pampered and taken cared of. A car in condition 5 may not be drivable at all. It is important that you know these terms.
Remember that the more original parts that your vehicle has, the higher the price it will be. If the car has gone through customization like paint, carpet, wheels, engines, and grilles, the value of that car is much less compared to a car of the same model which has not yet felt any kind of customization. Rarity is also to be considered. Another factor is the color of the vehicle. You see, a red Ferrari would always sell higher compared to a brown Ferrari. So think about that.
In the state of Michigan, there is one city that would be offering car buffs, lovers, and aficionados a chance to take a view at cars that were long past the production stage and are now considered to be classic cars. This city is Bay City and as part of their monthly event called First Thursday Gallery Walk, they would be setting up and showcasing classic cars. Classic cars were chosen as the theme for the month's event.
This is not going to be just another classic car show where people just come around and show off their vehicles and companies offer their classic car products like Oldsmobile accessories and the like. In this one, it would be more than that. The Bay City Motor Company would be featuring cars that are already in their own showrooms. Also, local talents would be featured. Those artists who did dub their brushes into pools of creativity to create classic vehicles and other cars would be featured.
The event would also be showing a movie very famous for its car chase scenes. Remember the movie 'Bullitt'? This movie was set in the city of San Francisco and it starts Detective Frank Bullitt who's out and driving a 1968 Ford Mustang GT. And, yes, he is out chasing hit-men and bad guys driving a 1968 Dodge Charger. Well, if you're up to relive the car scenes and car chases of that movie, better head down to the event.
According to Scott Cotton, one owner of a classic car that would be shown off at the First Thursday Gallery Walk, "It's sort of a showcase to see the vehicles. A thousand people come through here a week. Everyone enjoys it. It's become a tourist attraction. We want to make everything down here better. We can do this in a barn in the middle of nowhere, but we chose to come down here."
Those who would be taking part of the said event would be up to find a variety of classic cars that could range from those ever famous Ford Mustangs. And yes, you also could find one anniversary edition Grand Prix vehicle.
