My stepfather has always wanted a 1957 Chevy. His love of this car probably came from the time that he was a teenager. My stepfather lives in New England. Classic cars from that area tend to be in poor shape due to the harsh winters. He found a car in Arizona that seemed to be perfect. He sent in auto appraiser to determine the value of the car he was looking at. This is very important when it comes to a long distance auto purchase. You need to send someone to see the car for you if you are unable to see it yourself. He did end up buying the car as it was in very good condition for the age.
