How to Travel on Vintage Wheels

Got a yen for a trip down nostalgia lane at the wheel of a 1970s-era classic with a steering wheel knob and an 8-track tape deck? How about taking to the back roads in a vintage trailer, hot-rodding in an old pick-up or revving up a vintage Harley? Whatever you decide, heads will turn and watch your blast from the past. To travel on vintage wheels for part of a day or an evening, hire a classic livery service to show you the sights from a classic touring car or even a horse-drawn surrey or carriage.

Instructions

  1. Decide Which Vintage Wheels You Want

    • 1

      Consider a classic travel trailer dating back to the 1950s, such as a Shasta or an Airstream. As long as you have a vehicle with a strong motor of at least six cylinders to pull your vintage camper, you can travel in style and comfort. Don't be surprised if a colorful Baby Doll Shasta or a shiny silver Airstream draws crowds wherever you stop along the road.

      Check out vintage pick-ups, especially from the 1940s and 50s, with their classic body styles. Whether you want to haul a cord of wood or cruise down Main Street on a Saturday night, a 1951 Chevy 350 or a 1956 Studebaker Transtar will do the job.

      Make an offer on a 1949 Oldsmobile Rocket, a 1957 Chevy Bel Air or a 1968 Ford Mustang if you want to travel on vintage wheels from a bygone era. Any of these three models would provide a wise investment as well as a head-turning ride if you can find a reasonable deal.

      Test drive a classic Harley if you are ready for the open road and the wind in your face. Look for a vintage bike but not an antique. The older a motorcycle is, the heavier and and less stable it is to ride.

      For the easiest and least expensive way to travel on vintage wheels, simply hire a car and driver for a few hours from a company that specializes in classic touring cars and limos. Such companies are poplar in Europe and Australia as well as in historic American cities such as San Francisco and Philadelphia.
