Want to buy the classic car of the future? Here’s a list

WASHINGTON — Traverse City, Michigan-based Hagerty, a big classic car insurance company, takes a shot every year at predicting what new cars today will be hot collector cars years from now, and Chevy gets a big share of this year’s list.

It says 10 vehicles in the 2017 production run by major worldwide automakers stand out as the likeliest to grow in value and appeal to classic car enthusiasts.

“All 10 have that ‘it’ factor that makes them stand out from the crowd,” says McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty. “In some cases it’s power, in some cases it’s innovation or drivability, but all of them have the qualities that define a future classic.”

To be eligible for the Hagerty Hot list, a vehicle must be produced within the 2017 model year and have a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of less than $100,000.
