The oldest cars in U.S. museums can be traced back to the 1890s, while most antique cars displayed at auto shows were built between the 1930s and 1950s. American antique cars have been handed down from generation to generation, and almost every one of them has a story. Why not get out and learn their stories and pass them on to the next generation?
