Step 1
Do some research to figure out what kind of antique or classic car to buy. The cars are often grouped into categories, such as those made before 1945 (antiques) and the ones made after 1945 up to 1979 (classics). There is a wide range of other categories such as trucks, hot rods and the ever-popular Corvette. Cruise through websites offering antique and classic cars for sale to see what grabs your attention.

Step 2
Talk to people in a local antique car club. Often these clubs will have cars on display at special community events, and members are always happy to talk about how to find the car of your dreams!
-
Step 3
Decide on a geographic area in order to limit the search. For instance, some may not mind driving to a city 100 miles away to see a car, while others wish to shop closer to home.
-
Step 4
Locate newspapers from all the communities within the geographic search area and look through classified sections. Antique and classic cars are advertised here.
