The Porscche Strosek 928 makes you wonder about the meaning of the word ‘classic’. The word ‘timeless’ gets pretty close. After all, a classic car is appreciated at all times: both when it was new, and when it is old.

The Porsche 928 is such a car, for instance.

It was revolutionary at its

Long before Mercedes-Benz produced their own stationwagon, the Portuguese were doing it for them.

It took Mercedes-Benz a while to discover that there was a demand for stationwagons.

During the 1960’s, stationwagons got really popular in Europe and brands like Opel, Ford, Peugeot, Fiat and even Borgward produced combi-versions of their best selling sedans already

The essential thing about a barnfind is that it’s an object that has been forgotten for a long period of time.

Take this Fiat Dino for instance. It has been stored in a warehouse for 35 years.

To demonstrate this, the seller has very wisely decided not to clean the car. The thick layer of

It’s not easy to see the difference between one Volkswagen Beetle and another. And yet, differences can make a huge impact on the value.

It still happens that cars turn up that have been with the first owner since more than 50 years ago. Or in this case, it has been with the same family, which is basically the same. This Ford Taunus 15M is now for sale in Germany.

Strange things can happen to cars that are for sale. Take this little 1959 Austin A35, for instance. It looks wonderful, looks as if it has been fully restored. That should be worth some money.

Yes, some money indeed. But the owner, who is in Germany, asks EUR 22,500 for it.

Huh?

At the end of the nineteenth century, a company named Noé Boyer & Cie in the French city of Suresnes produces bicycles under the brandname Phebus.
