Massive Classic Car Collection Impacts Car Community

As children, most of us car enthusiasts were probably fascinated by the cars of yesteryear. From classic Dodge Power Wagons to race-ready Le Mans competitors, the swooping fender flares, long hoods, and bright diverse color schemes were designed to do one thing, catch your attention. They did this extremely well which is why today these cars are seen as the pinnacle of design within the automotive community. While it is very unlikely, especially these days, to find your well-taken care of examples of these long-lost legends, there is still hope. This comes in the form of museums such as the LeMay Car Collection.

Generations of Cars

While a classic car is technically defined as a car older than 20 years old, we prefer to use the Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) standards of “fine” or “distinctive” automobile. They also specify between 1915 and 1948, made in America, or overseas. This is also regarded as more of an antique or vintage year range by some. As far as collector cars, this is typically applied to a vehicle with an extra dash of exclusivity to it; think special editions, low production, or historically significant vehicle. Both terms cover some of the greatest and hardest to find vehicles in the world.
