The Role of Provenance and Documentation in the Value of Collector Cars  By Mike Thies

In the world of collector and classic cars, value isn't just about make, model, and condition.

Dreaming of a 1939 Oldsmobile

"Christina, my wife of 33 years, and Gateway Classic Cars have made my lifelong dream come true,” says Dean Wasson, a veteran of the Vietnam War and a resident of Peachtree Corners, Georgia. For many years, Dean longed for a 1939 4-door Oldsmobile, so that he could carry extra passengers. (Most street rodders prefer a 2-door,” he says.)

His new car is pearl white with maroon interior and has all of the modern conveniences on it.

“He takes his baby on daily rides to give her…

The 20 Best Cars That Still Offer a Manual Transmission For those who like to do the shifting themselves. by Ben Stewart

The manual transmission is on the endangered species list. Every year fewer and fewer cars are offered with a clutch and a shifter. Why? Americans just don't want to be bothered with the chore of working a clutch with their left foot and shifting with their right. And sports car manufacturers are the worst offenders when it comes to quitting on the stick shift.…

Classic Cars for Celebrities/Families at Roswell Dealership

Written by Marilyn Pearlman

Whether in fashion or cars, it is a matter of picking the right item/style and the right color says Tevie Dante Fraser, co-owner of Fraser Dante LTD, with her husband Thomas Fraser.    The decision to go into business started with one car and lots of Passion, a 1972 Red Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible, which was a great pick 28 years ago.  That choice has evolved into a full show room with around 50 cars plus!  The husband-wife team speaks from…

A Bite of History - Marcos  By Mike Thies

A Bite of History - Marcos 

By Mike Thies

The Marcos was one of those wonderfully unconventional British sports car companies that could only have come from the postwar racing world. The company was founded in 1959 by Jem Marsh and aerodynamicist Frank Costin, with the name Marcos coming from Marsh and Costin. Costin brought serious aircraft and racing design experience to the project, and that influence showed up immediately in the cars: low frontal area, light weight,…
