They keep coming back, these old cars. There is no way you can put a good car down, that is what they always say and retro cars have always been a fad for car enthusiasts, celebrities, and your everyday Joe. So, when you feel your heart pounding whenever you see Speed Six Bentley Tourers, which were built in 1926, Gran Torinos, 1957 Chevies, and Shelby Mustangs, boy, you have that retro car fever in you.
Why do people love vintage or retro cars? Well, men always been innately mesmerized with items that are old and are still working, especially the ones that can be considered as very valuable in the future. It helps us understand the future better. For example, explorers and archeologists are continuously searching for treasures and artifacts from civilizations of long ago and when they find them, they do, they spend money and time to restore them to their original form if it can still be done. The same is true when searching for old cars and exhausting all efforts to bring them back to their original state. For collectors and car lovers, owning retro cars is no different than owning a little bite of history.
Another reason why many people are hooked into retro cars is because it provides a sense of uniqueness and individuality. Anybody who has money can buy the latest and the most modern of cars, yet not everyone can possess a true retro car. It is like fashion, people can buy the same garments, which artists and entertainers wear, they go shopping in the same shops, and watch the very same shows on television, but owning something vintage particularly a car can really set a person apart from the norm.  I have met retro car owners who regularly use their BMWs and Benzes but on special occasions or when they just want to travel back in time and reminisce the old days, the retro car acts as their time machine. To them, very few experiences can beat cruising down the country highway with Elvis or Frank Sinatra blaring on the classic radio of their classic car. Now that’s authentic nostalgia at its finest.
As what John Walsh uttered that a retro car is regarded as an ownership, lastingness and solidity, and having few real possessions in a more and more virtual world.” A lot of retro car collectors will attest to the fact that restoring and collecting old cars can provide sheer joy especially if the car rolls down the road once again.
