If you have not heard about the increasing popularity of touring in classic cars, you are probably just not in the right place at the right time. If you live in a smaller town or a resort town, it is probably something you have witnessed because touring in classic cars tends to happen on some of the routes less-traveled, for obvious reasons. If you are a vintage car collector that owns one of the original 1964 ½ Ford Mustangs or a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1, you probably aren't going to be motoring through the heavy-traffic downtown metro areas, unless you are in a parade for Thanksgiving Day or a Super Bowl win!
Plenty of nostalgic car enthusiasts think touring in classic cars is one of the most entertaining ways to enjoy your most-prized possession and the surrounding countryside. Those that arrange their own tours can take a weekend break with a few friends that enjoy the hobby of restoring classic Mustangs, Chevys, or Fords, but there are local clubs in the area that can give you pointers on touring or offer information on local stops to make, where other vintage car collectors might be found.
When touring in classic cars, you can always consider some of the escorted tours that might include a variety of the vintage, all-American "muscle cars" or antique models of the earliest automobiles. There are some of these types of car tours available all over the world, with varying durations, whether a month-long motoring holiday through the hillsides of France or a weekend motoring trip down the Florida Keys. It is possible that you might find touring in classic cars can be a fulfilling local activity, especially if you have an organized car club in your area, however.
Many of the vintage automobile owners love to enjoy a half-day event, parade or car show, close to home. Touring in classic cars does not mean you have to take a long and expensive trip. While there are some organized events that might travel a few hours away and involve an overnight stay, they are relatively inexpensive, and a great way to get to know other collectors that might have similar interests.
In fact, it can be a great way to learn more about special aftermarket parts resources or find out information about the best local restoration specialists. These can be very entertaining ways to show off your vintage specimen, but you can enjoy a relatively inexpensive outing enjoying stunning scenery while motoring through a variety of regional or local tourist attractions.
