Classic cars

In a world that is obsessed with the latest supercars and electric vehicles, it’s time to pay homage to the great cars of the past.

Most people associate Volvo with practical sedans and boxy wagons, but during the 1980s the company decided to try something much more ambitious. Volvo wanted a genuine luxury coupe that could compete with premium European grand tourers while still retaining the brand’s reputation for safety, comfort, and durability.

Inherited a 1969 Ford Mustang and shocked by the repair bills? Here’s why maintaining a classic collector car can be expensive, what costs to expect, and how to decide if it’s worth keeping.

Many classic car owners assume the hard part ends when the restoration is complete and the car is finally back on the road. Then they call an insurance company and discover that getting proper coverage is far more complicated than insuring a modern vehicle.

Some car brands chased luxury. Others chased speed. Plymouth aimed for something much more practical: a good car regular families could actually afford. For much of the twentieth century, Plymouth helped make car ownership feel less like a dream and more like a normal part of middle-class American life.
