My father and I purchased a 1966 Pontiac GTO from Tom and Nick.
This seller has a huge and impressive inventory of collector cars. Nick was the gentleman that showed me the vehicle I bought and found he's not your typical car salesman. He's very knowledgeable and was a pleasure to deal with. The day I picked up my car I got a glimpse of where they detail and service their vehicles. I was able to see the time and effort they put into their inventory. I don't normally leave reviews; however, I was so pleased with my purchase and my experience I felt I needed to.
If there was 10 stars I would give them a 10.
Hi everyone, I've dealt with many people and I have quite a few cars and dealing with Vintage in Glendale from the start to the end of the deal was so excellent. The communication is great. Every time I sent a note or called they came back to me and many times more than one person contacted me. The have such a great selection of cars there and everything about them is so professional. I even mentioned they have a VW Microbus that if they fix it a little they can get double the $$$ but they don't do that and they have some gems and I love the place and I totally trust them with any deal anytime.
GREAT people.
Great people to deal with. Sold them my 73 Mercedes and it was a very smooth transaction. Very quick payment. I buy And sell many cars each year and will definitely be looking Nick up to buy in the future.
I bought a 73 Jaguar E-Type from them, amazing car.
They are such a easy people to make a business with! I bought a 73 Jaguar E-Type from them, amazing car. Thanks guys!
I can't say enough about my experience!
When I bought my 71 MBZ 600, I thought that I was paying a high price, but when I got my car, I realized that this was the best car in my collection. Thank you Tom for selling this car to me.
Best shopping experience!!!
Been shopping around for quite some time before finding my 1973 Citroen at Vintage Car Collector. Sale went smoothly and with ease, for what I'm very thankful. Highly recommended!

1938 Cadillac Seies-65 with Dual Side Mounts
In 1938 the Series 65 had a new front end style featuring a massive vertical cellular grille, three sets of horizontal bars on the hood sides, alligator hood, and headlights on the filler space between the fenders and the hood. Optional side mount covers were hinged to the fenders. Quarter windows were of sliding rather than hinged construction. The rear of the body had rounder corners and lines blended more smoothly. Trunks had more of an appearance of being an integral part of the body. Bodies were all made of steel except for the wooden main sills. New chassis details included a column gear shift, horns just behind the grille, battery under the right hand side of the hood, transverse muffler just behind the fuel tank, wheels by a different manufacturer, "Synchro-Flex" flywheel, hypoid rear axle, and the deletion of the oil filter.
I bought this beautiful 1938 Cadillac 65-Series Short Version from a collector in Florida who loved big luxury cars and had a few Cadillacs.
Mechanical
This is a very rare vehicle for the year with dual mounts, and with original 56,492 original miles. The odometer reading is missing from the title because of the age of the car, and that's why it says exempt. The car runs and drives just fine. The engine is in a great condition, transmission shifts very well through the gears, and the clutch feels really good. It drives just like a '38 Cadi should. The car has been kept well and has been featuring in numerous parades.
Exterior
All the glass is in a good condition. If you look at the undercarriage you will see that it's in a fine condition. The car has beautiful black paint, which nicely suits the car. I think this is the original color combination that it came with. The chromes, paint, and the grill are very distinguishable. Well, it has some flaws, which are only visible at a real close distance. This is a driver's quality car.
Interior
Interior is all there; dash is complete, all gauges work. Overall, it's a very original vehicle with low miles.
This is a truly great price for this 65-Series. It is really a rare car.
