Classic Cars: The History, Beauty and Rarity of Vintage Automobiles
Vintage Cars: Unquestionable charm, exquisite craftsmanship, a feeling of independence and a touch of nostalgia.
There is nothing quite like the purr of the engine or the scent of leather when you are lucky enough to get up close and personal with one of your favorite vintage cars, as any enthusiast of classic cars will tell you. And how do you feel when you come upon a model that has been expertly restored but is infrequently seen? Unbeatable
Aston Martin DB5 1964
The Aston Martin DB5 was created to be a conversation starter and that has not changed. This classic car is not only one of the most impressive, but it is also one of the most iconic and rare. Since this vintage car first hit the market its sky-high price has increased an estimated 790 times. Its name has been referenced in the James Bond film series as well as other works of popular culture. This fascinating antique car was created by the Milan-based Italian designer to turn heads. The entryway promises to grow as more goes by.
Jaguar E-Type 1961
A list of vintage vehicles would be incomplete if it omitted the Jaguar E-Type. With astounding top speeds of 150 mph and sleek styling to match, this famous car has a history of breaking records even today. It is difficult to argue with Enzo Ferrari's claim that the Jaguar is the most beautiful car in the world. The E-Type served as an inspiration for several of Jaguar's later designs, including the internal workings and body structure. It is a vintage vehicle with a heritage that has arguably endured longer than that of any other Jaguar in existence.
Ferrari 250 GTO 1962
The svelte fashionable Ferrari 250 GTO is among the most well-known vintage vehicles of all time and for a good reason. This unique model stands out from the competition due to its modernized look and high price. This vintage sports automobile did not even have a name when it first showed up. It was internally referred to as "IL Mostro"-the monster-because of its peculiar design before it was given a formal name. It is an automobile that has advanced aggressively from its introduction in the 1960s to the present, with a contemporary value that even the majority of millionaires struggle to justify.
These fascinating vintage automobiles are a driving history lesson even before you sit down on the tattered leather or run your touch over the immaculate paint job.
