popular models
Any car that is more than 25 years old is classified as a country car. In the US it is known as an antique car or a vintage car. Vintage cars are still popular and there are many makes and models in existence. These cars come in many shapes, sizes and colors and most major car manufacturers do have vintage vehicles.
Some popular models can be difficult to find because they are no longer produced and the best way to find them would be to see whether there is someone is selling theirs. Places like eBay stock hard-to-find cars and will allow you to import one if necessary. Vintage vehicles have been popularized by TV, movies and magazines and have appeared in many popular movies for example John Travolta's "Grease".
Their popularity first of stems from their appearance. Country vintage cars are like no other especially when being driven in modern streets where they stick out like a soar thumb. Most people want to look different and unique. The younger generation want to turn heads when they pass and their cars are no exception. Country cars are some of the hottest selling cars in the United States and have attracted the rich and the famous as well as ordinary people. Take for instance the 1964 American Rambler; its production ceased decades ago and there are limited models available which makes it an antique vehicle which most consider a valuable collectors item.
People associate antique cars with the romanticism that is in the movies. This is because country cars have appeared in countless movies that we tend to identify with and people have the tradition of idolizing movie stars and such as John Travolta took the world by storm in the late 70s with his boyish appeal and hairstyle.
Country cars are also a collectors item for many. Some of them tend to be expensive, retailing for more than $30,000 thereby making them the past time of the rich and the famous. Many well known millionaires and actors spot antique cars mostly as a collectors items and for prestigious purposes. Some rarely drive them, preferring instead to showcase them in their garage and reveal them only to visiting guests. As we said earlier, many country cars were popularized and romanticized in movies and therefore collectors buy them at auctions and keep them as memorabilia from that particular movie that they love.
Actors, the rich and the famous are not the any people who collect antique cars. Many popular brands such as Ford Austin, Volkswagen Beetle and Anglia are wildly popular with many and are still sold in select dealerships. These may range from $8000.00 to $40,000 depending on the condition it is in and how rare it is. The more rare it is and also the more well kept then the more expensive it tends to be. But overall, anywhere between $8000 and $20000 can get you a decent country car but you may have to do a little searching because in many cases, they are not readily available.
