TIME TRAVEL WITH THESE CLASSIC BEAUTIES<\/span><\/h4>\n

Sometimes when you peruse the exquisite collection of fine cars on the Turo marketplace, you\u2019ll encounter a few you might be surprised to find. Sure, there\u2019s <\/span>the outlandish<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>the (in)famous<\/span>, but there\u2019s nothing quite like the classics. These cars are each individually reviewed and approved by the Turo team to ensure they meet Turo\u2019s safety standards, and each one comes complete with a rich past and great stories \u00a0\u2014 from <\/span>childhood dreams<\/span><\/a> to <\/span>bucket list fantasies<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some of the newest classic specialty car<\/a> additions to Turo that are now available to fuel your next adventure. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kwan\u2019s \u201875 BMW 2002<\/p><\/div>\n

Exhaustive engineering and elite quality have long distinguished European car brands. Imported or replicas built by their owners, these classics aren\u2019t your basic dailies. <\/span><\/p>\n

James\u2019 \u201865 Chevy Corvair<\/p><\/div>\n

The post-WWII era marked a significant pivot for the American automobile. The car became a staple among most American households as the number of cars on the road more than doubled. While the Europeans produced sub-compacts and condensed sports cars, the Big Three automakers (Ford, GM, and Chrysler) catered to the American taste for bigger, bolder, and dripping in chrome. <\/span><\/p>\n

These cruisers are the bygone sweethearts of American history. Many of these new additions to the marketplace were restored by the current owners so geeking out with a fellow gearhead or just reminiscing with an enthusiast come standard with your rental. <\/span><\/p>\n

Iconic American muscle cars <\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Muscle cars, as the name implies, follow the American hot rod tradition of large engines on smaller cars. These supercars were designed for pure straight-line performance power. Without the supple looks or intricate engineering typical of the European sports cars, muscle cars are able to be sold at a more affordable price point. <\/span><\/p>\n

Using the \u201cmuscle\u201d analogy, think of these cars as your classic neighborhood gym versus the latest bougie group fitness trend of the moment. Accordingly, these new additions to Turo will definitely turn heads without totally breaking the bank.<\/span><\/p>\n

Juan Andres\u2019 \u201874 Bus<\/p><\/div>\n

You\u2019ll hear a lot of nicknames and variants for Volkswagen\u2019s vans but they all fall under the \u201cTransporter\u201d series. The real classics are more commonly referred to as \u201cType 2\u201d, deriving from VW\u2019s first Type 1 model, the Beetle. Originally debuted at the 1949 Geneva Motor Show, the van\u2019s utilitarian capabilities, affordability, and friendly styling attracted a cult following and became synonymous with adventure. As such, it should come as no surprise that these vans are among the most popular classics on the marketplace. <\/span><\/p>\n

The real gems among the specialty cars of Turo are the ones you weren\u2019t expecting. They\u2019re the true hipsters of the marketplace. Kind of obscure and a little ironic, you\u2019ve probably never heard of them and they wouldn\u2019t be caught dead in your average rental car lot. <\/span><\/p>\n
