A Brief Look at Classic Vintage Car

The production of Vintage cars is said to begin in 1920 and ended a decade later around 1930, the same time when the first World War ended. In other words, those vehicles manufactured during the years 1920 to 1930 are considered to be classic as well as vintage cars.

However, what makes a car to be considered classic or vintage is up for debate. Some consider those vehicles made during a certain period of time to be classic while others consider a car to be classic if the public deem it a collectible.

Anyway, many automotive experts and enthusiasts consider the vintage car era to be one of the greatest eras in automotive history as many new innovations were made and many people could afford them. More American families owned a car during this era. Before this era, owning a car was next to impossible as the price was too steep for most people.

As demand for vehicles increased, many new automotive companies appeared and started production. This caused an upsurge in car production until the great depression in 1929 that brought the automotive industry to its knee. Many companies closed down and only about 10 percent of them survived.

Only those companies that produced cars that were stamped with quality and durability survived such as Ford, Hudson and Chryslers. These companies were able to continue producing automobiles that were considered luxurious and highly durable. New innovations such as air conditioning, heater, radio, and anti-freezing were added to provide utmost comfort for car owners.

Today, a number of these classic cars still exist and are still regarded as road worthy. They are considered as valuable collections. Many car enthusiasts regard vintage cars as the trophies of their collections and are proud to showcase them in car shows.

Some of these vintage cars are salvaged or restored from junk yards and abandoned garages. Restoring a vintage car to its full glory again is very expensive though.
