Top Ten Classic Cars. The ten hightest in demand classics

What Are the best classic cars

When asked, "Which classic cars are the best?" there were a few umms and errs and not a single quick answers from our staff. There were several questions trying to narrow down the question to a specific category or asking the definition of a classic car. We originally didn't want to narrow down this question, but in order to get an answer we had to. So, we difined a few specifics, but refused to define "classic cars" to keep the responses open-ended. We wanted to know what is considered a classic car to them and what were their favorites.

Chevrolet Nova, 1963 to 1972
The Chevy Nova SS started its career in 1962 as Chevy's bid for the budget, compact, muscle car lovers. In '63 the V-8 option came into play giving it a better performance credibility, but it wasn't until '66 that it officially joined the muscle car ranks with it's new style and 350 horsepower engine.

Chevrolet Chevelle, 1966 to 1973
The Chevy Chevelle was a powerhouse in the muscle car era with its midsize style. In 1968 after taking the backseat to the Corvette it came back strong with its new body style, 454 engine, the LS5, and 360 horsepower.

Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 1970 to 1978
The Chevy Monte Carlo was a beautiful creation from a merging of the Cadillac Eldorado and Chevelle. This beauty had a 350ci small-block V-8 that rated at 250 horsepower, and after the 1973 redesigns came out like a shining star.

Cadillac DeVille, 1955 to 1965
The Cadillac started out with the classic 1950s look of wraparound windshields, tailfins, twin rudders, and front bumper with artillery shell-shaped bumper guards. This became the classic car that is thought of in the '50s and has never lost that spot in our minds or hearts brining us back to that time.

Chevrolet Pickups, 1950-1971
The Chevy Pickups went through different changes as they asked the consumer what improvements were needed to current models. The results are what we see in the classic pickups Chevy came out with. The half-ton trucks were 6-cylinder, 90 horsepower work horses that led the industry in sales.

Mercedes Benz 450, 1975 to 1979
The 1970s was known for its downsizing in the automotive world, but Mercedes decided to go the opposite direction with the 450 and we all appreciate that they did. What came out of their gamble was a thing of beauty with its 6.9 liter 450 SEL, 286 horsepower, car phone, and shorter wheelbase. In '78 they introduced the anti-lock brake system to the world.

Chevrolet Corvettes, 1966 to 1982
Originally called the poor man's super car, the Corvette had the perfect combination of raw power and affordability in 1953. By the end of the second generation in '66 it had a 396 cube big block that cranked out 425 horsepower. Eversince we have been in love with this Madonna of cars.

Ford Mustang, 1964 to 1969
Ford rolled out this beauty into the hearts of the bay boomers in 1964 and has never left our hearts since. This classic gained attention very quickly as the Motor Trend's Car of the Year and as the 1964 Indy 500 Pace Car. Powered by the inline 6 cylinder engine with 105 horsepower, the Mustang came with a long list of options for the buyer to customize their charriot to their tastes.

Chevrolet Impala, 1958 to 1967
Starting out as a celebration of tail fins the Impala was a one of a kind look when introduced in 1956. It wasn't until '58 that it took its rightful place at the top of the Chevy line as an upscale trim package. Engine options started out with a 234 horsepower 6 cylinder to 315 horsepower Super Turbo Thrust.

Chevrolet Camaro, 1968 to 1969
It was Chevrolet's response to Ford's Mustang that the birth of the Camaro came about. The first generation of the Camaro is the most sought after with it's top of the line trim package, Z28, including a 6.5 liter, 350 horsepower V-8 big block. In '69 the design changed into the sportier lower, wider, aggressive stance and engine options up to a 7.0 liter, 425 horsepower V-8.
