When somebody you know is a classic car enthusiast, it’s hard to think of the perfect gift. It could be difficult thinking of something that they don’t already have or can’t just go out and buy themselves.

That’s why we’ve put together this series of gift guides for car lovers with different interests, starting with these unique gift ideas for classic car lovers.

1. Hot Rod Sculpture

For the classic car lover who enjoys their cars at home, this is a perfect gift. It can be placed in the office or in the living space to give them something fun to look at every day. This sculpture features an old-fashioned hot rod with flames coming out of its tires and a distinctive design.


2. 1/40 Diecast Classic Car Models

A set of classic cars is a great way to give somebody a little slice of American history from days gone by. This particular model comes with ten different makes, including the Corvette and the Mustang. These models are detailed and accurate replicas that can go on any display shelf.


3. Classic Cars Visual History Book

If the classic car lover in your life has a hard time deciding which car model to focus on, then this book is perfect for them. This book goes over the different cars from the 1960s through the 1980s, showing off each model and giving people an easy way to reminisce about classics like the Mustang and the GTO.


4. Trickle Charger

This next gift idea is super practical. If your recipient has a classic car as a second vehicle, or maybe even a collection of classic cars, a trickle charger is essential to prevent the battery from losing charge so it cannot be started. The low-voltage charge of a trickle charger is designed for use on a long-term basis and will improve battery health with no risk of overcharging. It’s a great alternative to taking out the battery after each usage which can quickly become frustrating.


5. LEGO Ford Mustang

The pillow has an opening in the back where they can put their face, allowing them to relax with this little piece of Americana under their head.


7. ‘I’m Not Old, I’m Classic’ Mug

For somebody you know who says that “life begins at forty”, reward them for their positive attitude about getting older by giving them this mug as a gift. It features one version of the saying on its front, and it’s available in different sizes.


8. Classic Car Parking Sign

This aluminum ‘Classic Cars Only’ sign would make an excellent addition to your recipient’s garage or parking space as a friendly way to let others know that the space is reserved.
