An Introduction To Car Collecting

Collection cars are highly sought and even have special trade shows dedicated to their very existence.  In the world of collectors, you have mechanics who can rebuild old cars to look new, individuals who have protected the original beauty of the car without extensive restoration or collectors who completely build collection cars from the ground up.  Every year, collectors gather at shows around the world in order to view a variety of collection cars together in one place.

Early camaros, vintage mustangs and other muscle cars or trucks are just a few of the collection cars that are showcased at trade shows.  In exchange for an entry fee, event organizers accept collection cars into their show and award prizes for the top entrants.  All collection cars are judged by preselected experts, who decide which are the best of the lot so to speak.

Collection cars are not only nice to look at, but they also bring a pretty price for their owners.  Antique and collection cars are highly sought among collectors, but are also popular among those who simply wish to reminisce about their glory days.  In addition, many collection cars are purchased for investment purposes.  If preserved, collection cars may continue to increase in value during the years to come.  If entered into additional car shows, they may continue to win awards or garner media attention that will make them even more desirable.

Collection cars will not be found at the local car dealership, but they are close by for the enthusiast who doesn't mind doing their research.  Some of the best places to search for collection cars are specialty magazines, the local newspaper's classified ad section, televised or local trade shows, and even online.  Before purchasing anything online, buyers are urged to conduct due diligence on the automobile.  An in-person inspection, along with a mechanic's observation, should be conducted prior to signing on the dotted line.

Quite often, collection cars are invited to participate in local parades.  No matter the time of year, these auto enthusiasts are anxious to showcase their set of wheels and are proud to ride as part of many parades on an annual basis.  Many collection cars can be entered into parades by contacting the local city hall to inquire about participation.  Everyone loves collection cars, including those who don't characterize themselves as collection car enthusiasts.  From the professional mechanic to the hopeful auto designer and the child who isn't even old enough to sit behind the steering wheel, collection cars are a sight to behold and are celebrated by all who appreciate classic detail at it's finest.

How do sequential tail lights work?

I just noted a Mustang had sequential rear turn signal lights. It remided me of christmas lights that do this if you put a single 'red dot" bulb on the string. Do both these examples work the same way and how does it work?

no, the early mustangs and t-birds that had it used large complicated mechanical timing mechanisms that resided in the trunk, it also used a special turn signal flasher, though it was the same size and shape as a regular flasher

lucky for me I didn't have to work on too many of them

from wikipedia:
Sequential turn signals
Sequential turn signals are a feature on some past-model cars whereby multiple lights that produce the rear turn signal do not all flash on and off in phase. Rather, the horizontally-arrayed lamps are illuminated sequentially: the innermost lamp lights and remains illuminated, the next outermost lamp lights and remains illuminated, followed by the next outermost lamp and so on until the outermost lamp lights briefly, at which point all lamps extinguish together and, after a short pause, the cycle begins again. The visual effect is one of outward motion in the direction of the intended turn or lane change. This implementation has generally been found only on American cars that use combination red rear brake and turn signal lamps.
Sequential turn signals were factory fitted to Ford Thunderbirds built between 1965 and 1971, inclusive, to Mercury Cougars between 1967 and 1973, to Shelby Mustangs between 1968 and 1970, to 1969 Imperials (built by Chrysler), and to the JDM 1971 Nissan Cedric.[citation needed] The system is costly and complex relative to standard turn signals, and no other production cars were so equipped.
Two different systems were employed. The earlier, fitted to the 1965 through 1968 Ford-built cars, was electro-mechanical, featuring an electric motor driving, through reduction gearing, a set of three slow-turning cams. These cams would actuate switches to turn on the lights in sequence so long as the turn signal switch was set. This system was complicated and prone to failure, and the units no longer function in many surviving cars.[citation needed] Later Ford cars and the 1969 Chrysler Imperial used a transistorized control module with no moving parts.
FMVSS 108 has been officially interpreted as requiring all turn signal lights to illuminate simultaneously. However, the 2010 Ford Mustang is equipped with sequential turn signals
