Which of these three music-inspiring cars appreciated most?
For years, musicians have written great songs about the open road and the vehicles that follow the white lines around the bend.
And, naturally, sentimental collectors want the cars that remind them of those songs.
On a recent episode of CNBC’s “Jay Leno’s Garage,” world-renowned auto appraiser (and trained opera singer) Donald Osborne met with Jay Leno to look at three cars, each of which once functioned as inspiration, to see which one has appreciated best.
With three months to go before the show opens its doors, the event organisers are scouring the globe to find the world’s most desirable classics under the 10 headings: saloon, coupé, convertible, sports car, supercar, hatchback, shooting brake or woodie, sports racer, single-seater and aerodynamic pioneer or streamliner.
“Nationals” implies the cars within are the best in the country, and in this case it that seemed true. Entries came from all over North America, and they were top notch. Most are reference-grade quality, a great place to find out how your car should look when properly restored.
