How do I Find a 1952 Chevy Deluxe Sedan?

Looking for a classic car such as the 1952 Chevrolet Deluxe sedan can be a fun but challenging experience. Limited production numbers, accidents, misuse and time affect the amount of cars available. It eventually becomes very difficult to find the antique car of your dreams in your neighborhood. The internet can deliver the whole world for your search area and give you a greater chance of success.

Instructions

1

Research the 1952 Chevrolet Deluxe sedan. Obtain classic car magazines, such as Classic American and Hemmings Motor News. Read articles about the car you are interested in.

2

Check classic car forums and find out what types of common problems to look for. Some cars can be very expensive to repair, especially with the limited availability of parts. Decide if you want a project car or can afford a restored one. Determine ahead of time how much money you are willing to spend.

3

Check online auctions sites such as eBay to find cars available for sale. Research the "completed" listings (those that have sold) to find out what 1952 Chevrolets are actually selling for. Use sites such as Craigslist, Auto Trader Classics and Hemmings Classified, to find '52 Chevys.

4

Search for a car with live classic car auction sites such as Barrett-Jackson, Mecum's and RM Auctions. Look for listings in their upcoming events. Find out if they are having an auction soon in your area.

5

Hire a classic car appraiser to perform a thorough inspection once you have located a candidate. A good inspector can tell you if the car is structurally sound and worth the asking price. Evaluate it in person to make sure that the listed condition is accurate and that the price is appropriate.
