The only thing that surprises me is your use of the word "classic" to describe these cars. Really? With the exception of the Viper the more appropriate term would be "used car". ... View more

Lots of great knowledge here in the comments! Yes a glaring oversight that Nick Mason was left off the list. Hey but does anybody know who on this list owned a car that won best of Show at Pebble Beach? Clapton is a former owner of the 1936 Lancia Astura Pinin Farina Cabriolet that won in 2016. ...

At one time the term "Classic" referred to a high end pre WWII car like a Packard or Duesenberg. In England it referred to high end sports cars of the post war years like Aston Martin or Ferrari. As time goes by it continues to evolve - now it refers to that rarest and most beautiful of all vehicles ever made - a 1990s pickup truck. ... View more

OK, OK - some very bad cars here to be sure and congrats to all the clearly disturbed owners who have brought them to this cyber cesspool, but finally as this pointless contest lurches towards its finale it’s time to go one step further, from the awful and the terrible into the realm of the truly horrible and of course I’m talking about the 2018 Concours d’Lemons Monterey Worst of Show winner (loser?) the fabulous 1977 Gremalibur.         gold plated (?) grille mascot with custom touches:  solar powered plastic garden taillights:  "Make America Gremlin Again"  Since her triumph in 2018 this beauty has been resting on her laurels under a disintegrating tarp outside our shop in Emeryville, but she fired right up today for a harrowing drive around the block - check out the walk around and driving video:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sKbKKqDDzg   and in case you’ve missed it here it is in all its glory at the awards presentation in 2018:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7jtguMiWmk   My name is Jim Callahan and thanks for your consideration. Just to make things clear I am not solely responsible for the discovery and presentation of this abomination, equally responsible is Asher Schlusselberg who is half owner and deserves half of the praise (scorn) and honor (disgust) for bringing this car into the spotlight. Here’s picture of him with another Lemons contender so if you should run into him you can thank (blame) him.         ... View more

Geez, disappointed by you guys once again. If your plan is to give the "nuts and bolts of hot-rodding vocabulary", the least you could do is consult with someone who knows what they're talking about. A non-hotrod pre or early postwar auto would usually (but not always) be called one of the following: touring car, roadster, phaeton, standard coupe, victoria coupe, business coupe, convertible coupe, convertible victoria, convertible sedan, 2 or 4 door sedan, station wagon, limousine or town car. And a little later, 2 and 4 door hardtop. I don't really know much about rods but t-bucket, hiboy, lowboy, deuce coupe, lead sled, and more recently rat rod come to mind as distinct types of rods, and I'm sure there are many more. I'm obviously not an expert but a lot of readers are just starting out and looking for real facts here - Hagerty should show more respect for that. C'mon, guys! ... View more
