Collector Car Guide (CCG) welcomes you to a new approach to reach the auto industry.
We are fellow vehicle enthusiasts, who for decades have dealt with virtually all aspects of the hobby. This ultimate reference for classic, performance and specialty vehicles came about as a result of locating exceptional experts in our areas to provide superior services and products leading to your ultimate enjoyment and satisfaction of your collector vehicle(s). We appreciate the participation of our sponsors and non-profits who confirm our unique “expressway” to the collector car industry!
The varied resources we provide cover both domestic and import vehicles. Some information we offer is significant for all vehicle enthusiasts, while other data is more relevant to owners of specific makes and models.
We share your passion and look forward to meeting you at local retailers, shops and even events where you can pick up our annual directory in print. Or view our online Recommended Vendors.
