All Right, let's start with the ominous number 1 condition. It has been expressed to me
that a number 1 is "better" than new. Better than new? Apparently, a number 1 is unattainable unless
your car has been hermetically sealed in a NASA cryogenic chamber for the last thirty
odd years. A number 2 condition will win you trophies and adulation as you load your car back on the trailer after the show. Yikes, we're running out of numbers here. If we jump down to the lowly number 6, this condition is supposed to be just short of a chicken coup or planter. So that leaves us with the numbers 3 thru 5. 
Since a condition number 5 is just on numeric level above the chicken coup, one would
consider that being branded a number 5, would be less than desirable. That leaves us with
numbers 3 and 4. The cars I had professionally appraised were found to be either a condition 3 or 4.I am no mathematician, but I don't like this particular method of pigeonholing. As with many things in life, I do not subscribe to the general consensus. That's probably why I drive a thirty-year old car. That being said, I conferred with my cohorts here at My Daily Driver and we came up with our own Classic Car rating system. Our criteria for this is based upon the fact that we Drive these cars day in and day out.  continued... |
