For about forty years, old-school Ferraris have rolled down Preston Street in the annual Italian Car Festival in June. Classic car shows also run across July and August in the downtown core and in Gatineau, Barrhaven, and Kemptville.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also regular cruise nights organized by Facebook car clubs. These can be offbeat; you\u2019ll see everything from creaking antiques, to guys showing off their custom wraps, to show-quality classic cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want something with a little more action? Smith\u2019s Falls runs the annual Race-the-Runway event: a classic drag race (not the RuPaul kind) with classic and exotic cars, accelerating across a quarter-mile of airport tarmac. Ride-alongs are available but limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Makes a Classic Car?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When does something new become classic? If you ask a teenager, probably in about six months. If you ask an auto insurer, usually 20 years. If you ask a collector, the cut-off is usually around 1977.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, most cars were not designed to last 20 years, let alone 50. That means those that do tend to be something special. A good classic car has few electronic components and mostly non-exclusive parts put together in an order that makes sense. More importantly, it\u2019s unique enough that the owner <em>wants <\/em>to repair it over and over. It carries itself proudly in the form of a distinctive curve and color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Classic Cars from the 50s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After WWII, the future was big and bright, and so were its cars. Newcomer carmakers like Kaiser-Frazer ditched the removable fenders and vertical grills, making cars that looked less like wagons, and so invented the classic car style: sleek, low, and powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Classic Cars from the 60s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From North America to Europe, everyone wanted to know how it felt to handle a racecar. Remember the Cobra? A V-8 packed into an AC frame. How about the original Mustang and Lamborghini? Good handling; great top speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Classic Cars from the 70s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Boomers grew up drag racing, and it shows in the design of the 70s. Automakers rolled out muscle cars with high torque and massive acceleration, like the Trans Am and the Dodge Charger. To accommodate the monster engines, cars became more wide, long, and boxy, but kept a sleek and low profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Classic Cars from the 80s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There were some funny experiments in the 80s, like the Delorean and the Brat. However, for our money, you can\u2019t go wrong with strong, well-engineered cars like the Pontiac Firebird or Ferrari F40. Truly timeless designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Best Classic Cars of All-Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. First-generation Mustang<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a stone-cold classic and a perfect piece of the 1950s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2019\/09\/classic-mustang.jpg\" alt=\"classic black mustang\" class=\"wp-image-77\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2019\/09\/classic-mustang.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2019\/09\/classic-mustang-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2019\/09\/classic-mustang-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2019\/09\/classic-mustang-188x125.jpg 188w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud Drophead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>one of the last to use a vertical grille, this car has a pre-WWII look, a luxurious interior, and drives with a buttery smoothness that only Rolls can pull off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2019\/09\/rolls-royce.jpg\" alt=\"cherry red rolls royce\" class=\"wp-image-80\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2019\/09\/rolls-royce.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2019\/09\/rolls-royce-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2019\/09\/rolls-royce-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2019\/09\/rolls-royce-187x125.jpg 187w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.

See it once and you\u2019ll want to grow a mustache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2019\/09\/triumph-tr6.jpg\" alt=\"parked red sports car\" class=\"wp-image-83\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2019\/09\/triumph-tr6.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2019\/09\/triumph-tr6-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2019\/09\/triumph-tr6-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2019\/09\/triumph-tr6-187x125.jpg 187w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is pushing the limit of \u201cclassic car\u201d as it\u2019s on the newer side. It even has a latch system, in case you need to install a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpages.ca\/blog\/tips-from-parents-on-renting-a-baby-car-seat\/\">car seat<\/a>. However, it is a fabulous car, as close to a racecar as you can get commercially, and its strong, high-tech design evokes a time and place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"575\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mitsu-lancer-seven.jpg\" alt=\"Lancer Evo on Road\" class=\"wp-image-86\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mitsu-lancer-seven.jpg 575w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mitsu-lancer-seven-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mitsu-lancer-seven-180x125.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.
