It’s anyone’s guess really as to which vehicles of today will become the classics of tomorrow. However, there are many factors that make it easy to make predictions. Many of the modern day cars currently on the road will not end up anywhere down the line but in the junkyard. But a handful of them will end up classics that are worth plenty when they are several decades old. If you’re not sure if your car will be a classic, there are a few sources you can check to see what the pros think.

There is no way of knowing for certain which cars will turn out to be classics. A variety of factors play a role in determining this. The CEO of a large insurance company known as Hagerty’s Insurance has put together his own list of vehicles he thinks may be classics. The Hagerty list may not match anyone else’s but it is based on observations made inside the insurance industry.

There are a number of cars on the Hagerty list but some of them clearly stand out more than others. Some of these cars include the Cadillac XLR-V Roadster as well as Audi S5. Some people might be shocked to find that the Smart car is on this list as possible classics as well. It may not seem like the type to be a classic but some people said that about the Beetle once. The modern day Dodge Charger Super Bee also makes the list of future classics which is only fitting considering its predecessor models.

The classic car predictions tend to vary in places like the United Kingdom when compared to the United States. Their list includes such cars as the Volkswagen Corrado as well as many others that are not common in the U.S. and may be rather unheard of to most people.

In the past few years a few large car manufacturers have re-launched some of their beloved models of the past with a new look for the modern day. Muscle cars are leading the way in this area. From Mustangs to the new Camaros and Chargers, this classic car type is coming back from the past to set the standard for the future. These are ones to watch for sure, especially limited higher end models.

Like the muscle cars, there are other cars from the past that have been redone for the modern day. The Volkswagen Beetle and the Mini Cooper are timeless classics that are also available now. These new models may very well carry on the classic status from the past.

Of course, it’s important to remember that even professionals can’t always predict what will happen in the future. It’s wise not to try to purchase a certain car only because you think it will be a classic. You should buy the car that you like because if it’s only based on money you stand to lose a lot down the line. And of course remember that having a classic car has a lot to do with how you treat and maintain it.
