Our Story: From Personal Passion to Global Community
The journey of OldCars.com began in June 1997 with a simple yet ambitious vision: to showcase a private collection of classic automobiles to the world through the emerging power of the Internet. This was during the pivotal moment when the web was transitioning from an academic curiosity to a commercial powerhouse, and we recognized the unprecedented opportunity to connect classic car enthusiasts across the globe.
What started as a digital showcase for one collector’s prized vehicles quickly evolved into something far greater. The response was immediate and overwhelming – classic car lovers from around the world discovered our site and began reaching out with genuine enthusiasm.
The Evolution of a Dream
The transformation from personal showcase to thriving marketplace happened organically. Visitors to our original site began asking if they could list their own classic cars and treasured automotive collectibles. These weren’t just casual inquiries – they were passionate requests from fellow enthusiasts who recognized the potential of what we had created.
Listening to our community, we embraced this natural evolution. OldCars.com was officially born as a dedicated platform where classic car enthusiasts could buy, sell, and connect with like-minded collectors worldwide. What began as one person’s desire to share their collection had blossomed into a comprehensive marketplace serving the global classic car community.
