What makes a car a collectible? The general consensus is that a car that is twenty-five years or older is eligible for “collectible status,” but age isn’t the only factor that makes a car a classic. Some vehicles are relegated to the history books without any fanfare, while others become rare, pricey must-haves that collectors line up at auctions to buy.
Cars that have historical importance, no matter whether they’re an American-made Ford or a foreign car like a Toyota, are always prone to becoming collectibles. If the car has introduced a new technology or pioneered higher consumer expectations, that also could make it a classic. At the end of the day, it’s all about what the market wants. On this list, you will see the used cars most likely, according to auto industry sources, to become collectibles in the near future.
