Vintage Luxury Cars

A vintage car is defined as a car built between 1919 and 1930.  A luxury car is a vehicle with desirable or pleasing features.  These features go beyond the basic necessities and increase the value of the car significantly.  The combination of vintage and luxury created cars that were both elegant and classic.

The Distinction of a Luxury Car

Styling, engineering as well as public opinion are important components of a luxury vehicle.   Among the most important features of a luxury car is the high comfort level.  Genuine leather upholstery combines with polished “woodgrain-look” dashboard beautifully.    An example, 1930’s Cadillac V-16 became known as one of the most legendary ultra-luxury cars of the era.  There were only 4,076 V-162 custom finished from 1930 to 1940.  The Classic Car Club of America rated the V-16s at its prestigious level of CCCA Full Classics.
