Federal Regulation Change Makes Building And Buying Classic Car Replicas Simpler
As enthusiasts, we haven’t been getting great news over the years. It seems that with ‘progress’, comes more restrictions for classic and collector owners, skyrocketing gas prices, and a lack of opportunity to even find the cars we love.

UK Man Daily Drives Classic 1931 Tourer To Work Everyday
The thought of daily driving a collector or classic car doesn’t mean a lot these days, with a lot more people willing to get out and drive than before. However, there is a lot of risk with driving a collectible, mainly being the damage that can happen on the road, how much your insurance would cover in the event of a wreck, and even just being able to find service parts for rare or older classics. However, these things have not stopped Mark Elder from daily driving his 90-year-old classic car to work everyday.

Here are a few vintage Ford Thunderbird commercials that will send you back to a simpler time.

Racing A 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Is Pure Art
With only 36 in existence, the Ferrari 250 GTO is probably the most sought-after car to emerge from Maranello. The thought of racing such a valuable masterpiece might fill some with horror. After all, taking any vehicle on the track can be a recipe for disaster. And while this car has been squirreled away in secure garages most of its life, it’s going to be competing at the Velocity Invitational in mid-November.
