The 1962 Thunderbird came out with a new grille and taillights with two new models. One was called the Landau. Its interior is built to order and the roof had a cloth cover Landau S bars on the sides. The other new model was the sporty roadster. This was a special upholstery on the seats and wheels lightning, but did not have the tail of the compact rear that had the other models.

Voting Question: What car would you pick?

Classic Cars Expert — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:07:25 +0000

I’m thinking now days we all like checking out the old muscle car shows, but what about twenty years from now. what car is going to be one of the hot cars to restore. obviously the basics of course mustangs, camaros, fire birds, T.A.s and Goats are going to be popular. But i highly doubt we’ll see any civics, jettas, or anything along those lines.
So guys and gals whats your thoughts on the future of “Classic Cars”

i’m drawing a blank at this point. i’ve got a few that i think may fit the category but i think it’d be cool to find other peoples ideas.
My Ideas: ford probe, dodge stealth, mitsubishi 3000gt, the newer pontiac g-series cars, same for the newer mazadas. i’d like to say lancers or eclipses but i’m tossed up on those

NO WRONG ANSWER, but plenty of ideas and any reasoning would be great for anyone who reads this question..Thanks everyone hope we all have some fun with this one.

Resolved Question: 2 door vs 4 door Jeep?

Classic Cars Expert — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:07:05 +0000

I have been looking for a car for a while now and recently found two Jeeps. one is a 1999 4 door Jeep Cherokee Classic and the other is a 1998 2 door Cherokee SE, which is close too $1000 cheaper. I’m wondering if the 2 door would be okay or if i should go for the 4 door. I will be driving my two younger siblings around, so i was leaning toward the 4 door, but the other one is much cheaper. What do you think? Also are there any major issues with either of these Jeeps? Thanks

Open Question: What’s a good website for classic car parts?

Classic Cars Expert — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:07:45 +0000

Hi, I’m somewhat new to internet and I need to find some rare parts for my 68 Dodge Charger. I’ve looked at Ebay, Year One, and some other auto collector parts website, and can’t find what I’m looking for. I need a website that has pictures of the parts. I need the main air conditioning control slider unit, and a front grille (the grille has to be for a 1968 Charger, but the A/C unit apparently can be for either a 68, 69, or 70). Thanks greatly to anyone who can help, and have a great week!
