The world's most talked-about car show, the Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance, has been cancelled for 2020, it was announced this week. "Knowing that entrants, judges, volunteers and guests face ongoing health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic," officials of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance announced in a news release on Wednesday that they would cancel the show scheduled for August 16, 2020. The Concours chairman, Sandra Button, said that some of their overseas entrants would have to be transporting their cars to the U.S. She said the cancellation needed to be announced now to keep their registered entrants from the inconvenience of shipping their cars here and then finding out they would need to cancel. The 70th Annual Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance is now set for Sunday, August 15, 2021.

We sure do appreciate it when our advertisers let us know about their successful sales. This week, when a private seller from Callao, Virginia SOLD his 1949 Ford F1 Pickup he was kind enough to let us know right away. In fact, he was excited. "Thanks again Cars On Line. 2nd Successful sale on your website!" That's what Richard wrote in after marking his 1949 Ford F1 Truck SOLD not too long after placing his Run Till Sold ad!

There is still a strong market for classic cars. Check out the SOLD Section below to find out what has sold in the past week. Some sections of the country are really moving collector cars. I guess people would rather invest in old iron in these troubled times than in the stock market.

We are encouraging buyers to use our COL Inspection Service rather than going out to inspect the vehicles themselves. Our inspectors will do a pre-purchase inspection and appraisal of the car you want to buy. They will be able to give you a good idea of the condition classes on these cars. This is the safest way for you to buy collector cars for the next few weeks. Please, stay healthy out there.

Mark Schiliro, owner of MS Classic Cars, has one of the rarest muscle cars on the market right now. He says his 1970 Mercury Boss 302 Cougar Eliminator is one of the finest in existence. Mercury muscle car fans will have a chance to own this one since Mark is now offering it for sale. Not only is it in the Cars-On-Line Mercury Muscle Car Section online now, but he just announced that he will enter it in the first ever Barrett-Jackson Online Only Auction, scheduled for May 8-17, 2020. All bidding will be done online. It is one of only 469 Boss 302 Mercury Cougar Eliminators ever built and one of only 323 produced with the 4-speed manual transmission. The full rotisserie restoration was finished in 2008. Since then it has won over 30 prestigious awards (all listed in the descripition.) It was also featured on Power Nation TV.

Here is a real find for the average muscle car collector. It is a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 that is affordably priced. Because it is a "driver quality" muscle car, it is being offered by a private seller from Dyersburg, Tennessee for just $42,000. The only repaint was done in 1978 and is now showing some checking. The car does not have air conditioning but does come with power steering, power brakes and the popular His/Her shifter. The seller says this is an "all numbers matching" muscle car (with the exception of the carburetor and distributor.) He says the VIN tag, door, block, transmission and rear end stampings all match. This is the right opportunity for many buyers who do not need a show car.
