If you recently attended an antique car show, you might be hungry for a new purchase. There are many options that work well for everyday use, so you’ll get as many opportunities to drive your new vehicle as you will to show it. Here are four cars that have the first-rate appeal you want—without the high price tag or lack of drivability.

4 Antique Cars for Everyday Driving

1. Ford^® Mustang

The dependable and original Ford Mustangs produced from the latter half of 1964 through 1967 provide the smooth, enjoyable ride that keeps them popular among car lovers. While the original does not feature the dimension increase and engine power of later generations, its appearance and easy handling make up for it.

2. Datsun^® 240Z

Renowned for the winning combination of reliability, comfort, and performance, this eye-catching, six-cylinder antique car packs serious power. It goes from zero to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds and provides a smooth, easy ride. Other features include a manual transmission and hatchback cabin.

3. Toyota^® Land Cruiser FJ80

The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ80 is one of the larger vintage cars on the list, thanks to a spacious cabin and squared-off frame. Known for outstanding off-road capabilities, the dependable and rust-resistant vehicle is perfect if you love driving through woody terrain and on dirt roads.

4. Volkswagen^® Karmann Ghia

This stylish departure from the Volkswagen Beetle was produced from the 1950s to the 1970s. Due to its reduced engine power, it’s ideal if you plan on using it for mostly driving around town. Think of it as your own urban cruiser.
