Determining the Market Value
Whether you’re buying or selling a classic car, you will want to determine its fair market value. Publications such as the Old Car Buyers Guide, Hemmings or NADA's Classic, Collectible and Special Interest Car Appraisal Guide & Directory are a good place to start. Their price guides rate a car's value using 6 categories according to their conditions that range from “pristine” to “basket case”.

Restoring Your Classics Chrome
There are two things that most people notice when they check out your ride - its paint and chrome. And if you are showing your car, these two factors alone can make the difference between a first place trophy and no trophy at all. Repainting a car is a job the home restorer can tackle, but replating needs a specialist. Here are some things we do to insure the job gets done right.

1948 Tucker Serial #30
Preston Tucker's personal car, like all his cars, had features that were considered advanced for the time, like seat belts, a central headlight that turned with a front wheels, and a rear mounted flat-six engine. Tucker produced a proto-type in 1947 and 50 production cars one year later, but his inability to supply dealers with vehicles as scheduled caused his indictment on 31 counts of fraud. Although Tucker was acquitted, a lack of public confidence prevented him from resuming production.

1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Aerodynamic Coupe
Seeing this 1925 Rolls-Royce Round Door Phantom I Aerodynamic Coupe was by far the highlght of our tour at the Petersen Museum. It's size alone is overpowering. It's hard to believe that this "work of art" was consigned to a junk yard in 1950. It is not known who rescued the car from being scrapped, but East Coast entrepreneur Max Obie eventually acquired the unusual Rolls-Royce and refurbished it. Obie displayed the Round Door Rolls and charged curious enthusiasts to look at it.

1952/56 Chrysler Imperial Parade Phaeton
In 1952 Chrysler supplied three custom-built Parade Phaetons for transporting dignitaries in special events. Built on the extended Crown Imperial chassis, all three were returned to Chrysler in 1955 to be updated with the new 1956 "Forward Look" styling. This particular model was frequently used by President Dwight D. Eisenhower and became known as "The Detroit Car". The federal government could not take title of the Chrysler because of its policy not to accept gifts.

This imposing four-door convertible was the official parade car of Nikita Khrushchev during the final years of his regime. Premiere of the USSR from 1958 through 1963, Khrushchev had two of these cars built to order, one of which he gave as a gift to the Russian Cosmonaut Yurl Gargarin. Upon Gargarin's death in 1968, both cars were given to Hungarian President Janos Kadar and remained in Hungary until the collapse of communism in 1989, after which they were exported to the United States.

1953 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe by Ghia
During the 1950s, it was still possible to order a chassis from a manufacturer and have it sent to a coach builder to be fitted with a custom body. One of only two known to have been built by Ghia, this coupe was purchased by Ali Khan for the actress Rita Hayworth. Although its European body looked exotic compared to American cars of the day, this coupe was reliable, easy to drive, and simple to maintain thanks to its Cadillac underpinning.
