Elizabeth Treen has no desire to work on run-of-the-mill daily-driver cars, but she will gladly rip apart any collector car to rebuild it. For Treen, working on her 2002 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is a labor of love - love for her car, the hobby, herself and other car gals like her. https://www.hagerty.com/media/car-profiles/car-love-rebellion/

Concorso Italiano long ago elevated itself into the top echelon of events taking place on the Monterey Peninsula during Pebble Beach week. Now in its 31st year, it's more than half as old as the cars that it celebrated 50 years of: The Fiat 124/2000 Spider, Lamborghini Miura, DeTomaso Mangusta and Alfa Romeo Duetto. https://www.hagerty.com/media/events/concorso-italiano/

The North American collector car auction schedule is heavily front-loaded. Just three months into the calendar year, two out of the three major collector car auction events (Scottsdale and Amelia Island) have already taken place. And while there are some significant events in the near-term, like Mecum's big Indy sale in May, it won't be [...] https://www.hagerty.com/media/valuation/amelia-island-auctions/

I have always been a big Cadillac fan. It goes way back to early childhood, when my parents would buy me Pocket Cars diecast toys. Three of my favorites were a '75 Fleetwood Brougham, '75 Cadillac ambulance, and '80 Cadillac Seville. I also had two of the Hot Wheels '80 Sevilles, a two-tone, silver-over-maroon version, [...] https://www.hagerty.com/media/opinion/klockau-classics/1986-cadillac-eldorado-there-was-shrinkage/

Before entering the service more than 40 years ago, Art Hampton spent many afternoons on New York's Greenwood Lake. After a classic wooden boat caught his eye one day, he regularly cruised past the home where it was docked so that he could get a closer look. Occasionally the owners would be outside. https://www.hagerty.com/media/marine/art-hampton/

Manual gearboxes have been on my mind lately. Whether it's teaching someone how to shift for themselves, enjoying the anachronism that is a three-pedal Porsche 992, or driving the auto-only mid-engine Corvette, I'm becoming increasingly aware that the future of the manual is under threat. And I've contributed to the situation. https://www.hagerty.com/media/opinion/the-elsinore-files/why-its-up-to-us-to-save-the-manuals/

It's not hard to understand why someone would pay big money for a custom build. Having something-a house, a suit, or a car-formed to your specific tastes and specs just sounds nice, especially when the people making your dream a reality are among the most talented and experienced at what they do. https://www.hagerty.com/media/market-trends/hagerty-insider/would-you-pay-over-900k-for-someone-elses-reimagined-porsche/

Intake: When you own a casino you can pretty much have anything you want. However, when Bill Harrah reportedly asked for a four-wheel drive Ferrari, Enzo replied with a firm "no." So Harrah tasked his mechanics with the job instead, providing them with a slightly mangled 1969 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 and a brand-new (then, anyway) Jeep Wagoneer. https://www.hagerty.com/media/news/the-manifold/2021-06-11/

Sure, the 2020 Ferrari SF90 Stradale puts down impressive performance stats that few can touch, and from some angles its sleek, angular styling is worthy of the lean, mean, turbocharged V-8 Ferrari engineering sat between its hips. But from other vantage points it's clear this all-wheel-drive, hybrid powertrain, 3500+ pound (as tested) heavyweight is also beautifully curvaceous. https://www.hagerty.com/media/opinion/vellum-venom/vellum-venom-2020-ferrari-sf90-stradale/

Start with this: The supercharged, 998cc Kawasaki H2 SX SE Plus just isn't that fast. What a ridiculous thing to say.

It isn't surprising that American models make up nearly 60% of the searches for 1980s vehicles on Google and that Japanese models comprise 34%.

Collector cars from the 1980s, '90s, and early 2000s-variably coined Youngtimers, Radwood-cars, or just modern performance cars-have comprised the hottest sector of the classic car market for some time. They have dominated our annual Bull Market list of up-and-coming cars since it launched in 2018, and tend to come up whenever we're discussing the latest auction records. https://www.hagerty.com/media/market-trends/hagerty-insider/the-people-driving-up-prices-of-youngtimer-cars-probably-arent-all-that-young/

Back in the day, when people bought recorded music on physical media (such as Long-Playing (LP) vinyl phonograph records; Philips/Norelco analog-tape Compact Cassettes; 8-Track endless cassette tapes; and, later, Digital Audio Compact Discs), the conventional wisdom in the pop-music end of the record industry, as it was explained to me at the time (by "insiders"), [...] https://www.hagerty.com/media/opinion/music-for-your-road/olivia-rodrigo-and-drivers-license-pondering-a-cultural-phenomenon/

Airships and automobiles. What could they possibly have in common?

He gets on base." If you follow baseball-or have seen the movie Moneyball -you're probably familiar with the quote. The notion is that it's better to have a player who gets on base consistently than one who hits more home runs but also strikes out frequently. There's a similar concept in car collecting: volatility. https://www.hagerty.com/media/market-trends/hagerty-insider/3-classic-cars-that-have-rock-solid-values-and-3-that-are-wild-cards/

Of all the wear items on your motorcycle, the tires are the most important. They're the only connection between you and the road, and neglecting them is putting yourself on a fast track to the ICU.

Intake: Bugatti is building just nine examples of its new Chiron Super Sport, which the company says is the "ultimate grand tourer." The car is based on the long-tail Chiron Super Sport 300+ that test driver Andy Wallace maxed out at 304.8 mph in 2019. https://www.hagerty.com/media/news/the-manifold/2021-06-09/

Throughout his career, Volvo's chief designer, Jan Wilgaard, insisted that functional, sensible designs are the best looking. And there was no more functional, sensible design than the 240. It was the Earth Shoe of automobiles. Nearly 30 years after it ceased production, when you think of "Volvo," the profile of this car is probably what comes to mind. https://www.hagerty.com/media/buying-and-selling/your-handy-1975-93-volvo-240-buyers-guide/

It was ten after eight in the morning, and I was already running late. Cans of high-temp enamel spilled from a plastic bag to the floor of my car as I whipped a turn down my father's narrow drive.

Working indoors is a luxury that comes with its own risks, especially if you've gotta keep the machine running while it's maybe snowier than a mid-January Hoth or raining sideways with hamster-sized hail.

Knowing the "when" is just as important as the "how" with brake system maintenance Are there oily stains running down your tires' inner sidewalls? Garage floor puddles not attributable to driveline drips? A low fluid level in your master cylinder?

Much of the activity in and around Monterey every August leads up to the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, but it's actually the Gooding & Company auction a few yards away that's the last big event to close out Monterey Car Week on Sunday.

Recently, there have been two well-publicized cases of stolen (and now collectible) vehicles being recovered decades after their thefts.

There's something undeniably appealing about an Italo-American hybrid. No one styles a sporting GT with passion and emotion quite like the Italians. And no one does V8 grunt quite like Detroit. Put them together, and the results are often spectacular.

On Sunday, May 30th, 2021, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway hosted the 105th running of its signature event, the Indy 500. One of the few motorsport landmarks still capable of capturing the public fancy, it is a fest of pomp and spectacle-nearly two million dollars to win, the world's largest single-day sporting event, at the largest sports facility on earth, a feeling on the ground that can swell and sing as nowhere else. https://www.hagerty.com/media/opinion/smithology/smithology-a-tenth-and-a-half-in-a-back-pocket/

It's no secret that pickup trucks are the golden geese for the Big Three automakers here in the states. They're big, cushy, ridiculously capable, and laden with more tech than your local Best Buy.
