Muscle Car Club

Some classic car clubs have a specific model or era on which they focus. Others embrace just about any car of old, and still others true “fixer-uppers” that are certainly not lacking in rust, which many fondly call “character.” For the Muscle Car Club, all things about American Muscle Cars can be fascinating. They proudly claim to have compiled some of the most extensive information about the vehicles, including statistics, pictures, and much more. The website’s landing page provides a brief introduction to the club, and upon entering the site, visitors are greeted with large pictures of some of the most popular muscle cars.

The club obviously enjoys its nostalgia for the years of fast cars, big engines, and sleek designs that were both agressive and impressive. On the website, the club explains its origins: it began in 1995, originally as the Tiger Shark Institute. After becoming its own entity on the web in 2000, the site suffered a few setbacks and was shut down briefly before its relaunch in 2001

Those interested in joining the club will be happy to know that they will receive an exclusive decal, access to the classic Muscle Car Radio, which plays rock ‘n’ roll from the 50s-70s, just like the tunes that would have been playing as the cars rolled off the production line for the first time. Also part of the benefits includes a 1% finance rate discount from a nationally known company. All these benefits and more are open to members only.

Vintage Cars Can Be Hard To Find

One of the reasons why collecting cars is so much fun is because it involves finding the proverbial needle in a haystack in many cases.

When you do find that perfect old car it is like hitting the lottery in a sense because in most towns there are only so many vintage cars in circulation. There are also limited numbers of people who take the time to restore them.

So, even though it is very rewarding to finally find a classic car that you really want to add to your collection, it can be frustrating as well when you keep looking around without finding what you are looking for.

We would like to direct you to a website that changes everything with regard to the challenges touched upon above. This website has revolutionized the way people buy and sell classic cars and it is called FossilCars.com.

Nash Car Club Of America

When you think back to the earliest incarnations of the “horseless carriage” you may feel a little bit sorry for people who designed horse-drawn carriages and bicycles. After all, this new invention was putting them out of business after they had been providing people with transportation for so many years.

However, when you actually study the early days of automobile manufacturing in the United States you find that a lot of the pioneers were individuals who had previously been manufacturers of carriages or bicycles. So in fact these people did change with the times rather than letting the times pass them by.

The Detroit “Big Three” immediately come to mind when you think about important American automotive manufacturers. However, there are some other companies that had a lot to do with pushing the cause of automotive engineering forward, and one of these is Nash Motors.

Charles W. Nash started the company all the way back in 1916 and Nash automobiles were manufactured through 1954. However, he bought the company that became Nash from the son of a man named Thomas Jeffery who was the inventor of the popular Rambler bicycle. He motorized it eventually and it evolved into the Rambler automobile around the turn of the 20th century.

Classic Nash vehicles are highly sought after by many collectors, and if you are interested in networking with people who are big Nash aficionados you may want to consider joining the Nash Car Club Of America. They offer electronic memberships that provide you with access to the web-based community that they have as well as full standard memberships.

On the website you can browse countless photos, interact with others, and tap into the “Nash Garage” and really look under the hood. To get it all straight from the horse’s mouth, simply visit the Nash Car Club Of America website.

Muscle Car Network Of Central Florida

The first wave of the holiday season has just passed us by, and it’s amazing how fast it comes. At least it seems that way to those of us who aren’t expecting Santa Claus. If you think about it, the holidays come mighty darn slow to the little ones, but I digress.

That is, some of us do. There are plenty of snowbirds out there, and if you are a classic car fan spending the winter in Florida you have it made. You get to put the top down and cruise down the streets in style in much of the Sunshine State year-around, and if you’re fortunate enough to have retired its a great place to hang out and indulge your love of classic cars during the winter months.
