Speaking of rare vehicles!
Rarity can be a big factor in the success of an automobile collection and a show. Despite the passage of time and the changing tastes of the world, rare and collectable automobiles continue to be a popular option. There has recently been an explosion in popularity for rare automobiles, particularly in America. The rare automobile market is becoming more scarce with collectors on the rise, with an increase in demand and an obvious limited supply.
In today's world of quick trends, rare vehicles have become looked at as taking a trip to an era in time long ago. The fascination with creativity and novelty is as old as time. It's an attribute that has been part of human development since we were born. As such, creativity can be found in many rare vehicles, some of the most innovative ideas in the world of automobiles were first seen many decades ago.
I enjoy the San Marino Motor Classic specifically for the vast variety and array of these rare vehicles, some of which may not be seen at any other show period. With vehicles from all over on display for your viewing pleasure, there is something for everyone at this show with a vast variety of cars to see and things to do.
All in all, this is a great way to proudly support community organizations and is one that is on my calendar every year. The San Marino Motor Classic is a nonprofit organization and the event does make a statement while at the same time supporting organizations that make a difference in this world.
