Jay Leno with McKeel Hagerty

In a recent video on Jay Leno’s classic car website, Jay’s Garage, Jay had a chat with Hagerty CEO McKeel Hagerty about our youth program, Operation Ignite!, and our Youth Reporter Contest. Turns out, he thinks it’s pretty cool. In fact, he even offered to hang out with the winner. So not only will one lucky kid go to classic car events around the country all expenses paid, the winner (and his parent or guardian) will also get to meet Jay Leno and check out his amazing garage.

Do you know a kid who likes cars and would be great in front of a camera? Make sure they know about the Operation Ignite! Youth Reporter Contest.

****Are Classic Cars Art?****

A lot of people look at cars as a vehicle that carries people from one place to another. They do not think of cars as an Art. They do not believe that cars can be a media for an artist to express themselves.So how can Car Artists and  Car Collectors defend their love for the Classic Car?

Like the man said, “pictures are worth a thousand words”. Please join us, “All About Detail” an “On Line Classic Cars for Sale Museum” for a slide show tour of our museum. We encourage you to take the tour and think about the artists behind the work.

.Unlike the art hanging in the Guggenheim, this art requires a Team. Foremost are the designers. These work with all types of media, sculptures, drawing, cad programming and more. Then there are the engineers who work with the designs and try to fit a mechanical working unit within the design’s parameters, no easy task. Many times the engineer’s and designers are forced into compromises. Lastly, the assembly team has to get all the pieces to fit and work.  

Isn’t it just wonderful when it all comes together? Did you notice the Ferrari 512T? If that is not art what is?

Cars do carry people from one place to another but when they do, they are "Moving Art". The Guggenheim will probably never hang a Classic Car on one of its walls. So if you want to view this art work you will need to visit a Car Museum or you can accept our invitation and visit our “On Line Classic Cars for Sale Museum”.
