The recent news that Jay Leno will soon be stepping down as host of the Tonight Show was announced in the usual way. Maybe the announcement should have been that Jay said “I’m retiring so I can spend more time with my family….of classic cars”. Probably the country’s most famous car enthusiast funny man Jay Leno has his own website and there is an article he wrote that offers plenty of good advice on finding a classic car that you will love.
He does advise that you do your detective work when looking for older cars in general and then maybe finding the one that will become the car of your dreams. He has some simple ways to do the detective work, saying you should start at the oldest gas station in town. He seems to connect age a lot as he says to look for older people who are more likely to have an older car.
The good news is there are many new ways to do this detective work to help narrow down your choices and help get you in that vintage car faster. You can buy or sell classic cars on our website and, unlike Jay, start looking for that car you always had in mind right from the start.
Jay is right. Retirement communities are golden, because old collectors must sell off a treasure at some point. This is how all antiques are passed off by elderly and acquired by the younger generation.
Jay Leno should develop a show on the Velocity Cable Channel and devote it to searching, negotiating, buying and restoring the right car. He is the perfect host expert and advocate for collectible cars.
