A pre-war car may well be an option (question of the month)
07/15/2024
Pre-war cars are difficult to sell and today's classic car drivers would prefer younger and faster cars from the 1920s or 1930s. At the same time, however, passers-by are often more enthusiastic about really old cars than younger examples, and pre-war cars are often the most acclaimed and admired at classic car events. We wanted to find out whether today's classic car buyers still consider pre-war cars in their purchasing decisions and asked the " question of the month" :
Would you buy a pre-war classic car?
We were somewhat surprised by the 400 or so responses, as pre-war cars are apparently still more popular than we thought. Almost 65% of respondents, i.e. almost two thirds, could imagine buying a pre-war classic car.
39.3% would definitely do so, 25.4% if the car was fast and reliable enough to keep up with traffic.
Only a quarter, exactly 25.9%, would not buy a pre-war classic car under any circumstances, while 9.4% were unable to answer any of the questions.
Even though the question may have appealed primarily to those who like to deal with very old cars, it is surprising how high the interest in these cars still is.
The answers look like this in graphic form:
And we've already come up with the next "question of the month" . In view of the rising temperatures, we want to know: Would you retrofit an air conditioning system?
And of course you can still read the answers to all previous questions of the week/monthin the dedicated topic channel.
