Old Convertibles Draw People Like Flies

Old classic convertibles often provide the hugest response out of classic car show viewers when they peer into the topless wonders known as convertibles. I have even seen beatup looking convertibles get great response.

I think it goes back to our youth, the feeling of freedom of riding a bicycle with the wind in my hair. Being at the wheel of a awesome looking classic convertible elicits the same feelings. People are like kids when it comes to convertibles.

Also without the coupe or sedan, a topless automobile seems to just look hotter in most cases. Also think of it as a chick magnet, if you are single that is. Guys, listen up, women love convertibles!

Grab Some Attention!

Let’s face it, a convertible in driving down the road will cause head turning. People look at you when you drive a convertible.

RagTops

The wonderful thing about convertibles is that you have the option to roll up the top and the windows and get in out of the rain. In the old classic convertibles, these tops were called “ragtops.”

Rag tops of old had a harder time sealing out the rain but as the years went by, they got better and better at it. Still it is worth being able to ride with the wind in your hair to endure a few drops here and there, but I would check out a convertible cartop restorer if this were the case.

Buying Classic Convertibles

One of the best places to find classic convertibles is Ebay. Ebay Motors has all kinds of convertibles from custom convertibles to the factory convertible and everything in between.

Have Fun!

What can be more appealing than driving a convertible? Convertible classic cars, with their sophisticated looks, are much in demand in the market. For someone who is hoping to snag his own top-down, get you a classic convertible. You will love it!

You Might Be A Classic Car Junkie If…

by Freeman Timmy

If you are like one of millions around the world, you will have to admit that you are addicted. addicted to classic cars. Like the 12 step program of AA (not making light of it just for comparison), we have a similar 5 point list of things that will clearly label you as a a “classic car junkie!”

Visit Buy Old Cars Classic Car site!

1. If you pine for 3 or more car shows in one weekend

Car shows just turn me on… I ain’t weird but it does “rev” me up. I am like a blue tick hound dog when it comes to tracking down the local car shows every weekend. I like to take my classic out to every one of them and pine over the ones I don’t have.

2. If the roar of a 289 Mustang motor makes you salivate like Paslov’s dog

You might be a “Classic car junkie!” Hey, I am one of you guys. I love those old Ford Mustang motors, and much like the famous dogs that Paslov tested, I, myself, do have a bit of problem salivating when I hear the roar of a classic car motor.

3. If your idea of a vacation is chasing down cars in barns in remote areas Can’t resist the temptation to go all over the countryside to view the rotting old classic car muscle just wasting a way in barns? You got it bad, eh? I do too, and to be able to find one of those nuggets in countryside of America only proves I am a junkie, literally!

4. If your House Has More Miles On It Than Your Classic Car

Hey nothing against mobile homes, but it is funny when you see a dude with $100K plus classics hanging around a garage and then look to find he is living in a trailer or an RV like cousin Eddie on the movie “Christmas Vacation.”

5. If Fewer Than Half Your Cars Actually Run.. and a Majority are Older than Dirt

Hey, I am like you. I sometime bite off more than I really can chew. If your back yard (or even front yard if you are really red neck), looks like a classic car junkyard, then you may want to consider the fact that you are addicted to classic cars. You mean to restore them all, but your grass is telling you another story!

Think long and hard about your “addiction.” It might not be as bad as it seems. You can always “get on the horn” and show up with your friends at the local BBQ for a fine meal and create memories that will last.
