One for Every Seat
One man's trash is another man's treasure. That dictum holds true in the collector car world, too, where loyal enthusiasts go out of their way to preserve the cars no one else seems to want.

WE HAVE TO CONFESS, the Winter issue of Hagerty magazine can be the most challenging to put together. The season's biggest events, like the auctions in Scottsdale, haven't yet happened when we go to press. And in most areas of the country, the shows are over and the cars are tucked away. But just because we are now firmly installed in winter weather doesn't mean there aren't vintage vehicles to enjoy. They don't even have to have wheels. To that end, Rob Sass spent some time hopping from sled to sled in a vintage snowmobile shakedown, where he found that these great classic machines can do more than just gve a car guy a winter fix of horsepower, speed and fumes.

It's also our great pleasure to have writer, journalist and satirist P.J. O'Rourke appear in our pages for the first time. He is best remembered by Baby Boomers as the managing editor of National Lampoon magazine during its glory years in the 1970s, and is the author of three New York Times bestsellers. He also has the distinction of being the most quoted living person in The Penguin Dictionary of Modern Humorous Quotations. A self-confessed hippie during his student days, Mr. O'Rourke gives us a hilarious overview of the Microbuses, Volvos and pickups favored by the often dazed and confused members of the counterculture of the late '60s and early '70s.

For those readers who feel like we've overlooked their favorite neglected collectibles, in "One For Every Seat" Jeff Sabatini examines the psyche of those who collect what many others in the hobby shun. In our book, nobody's baby is ugly and there are no hapless collector cars. We sincerely hope it causes at least a few car guys to take a fresh look at the Corvairs, Porsche 924s and Maserati Biturbos of the world.

Finally, and on a related note, Dave Kinney focuses this issue's "Marketwatch" on some previously neglected Corvettes, the late C3s. They offer better performance than most people realize and may be one of the best fun-to-cost ratios in the collector car world.
