The Classic Car Guide in an Android App
If your whole life is deeply invested inClassic Muscle CarsorVintage cars, you might want to check out the Android Market. It might not give out much information, but it is a start you have to let the app warm up to the market. But the app lists down the sale prices of these cars from all over the world, and as a bonus, or perhaps the meat of the app, it also has articles and information from Keith Martin, the guru of classic and vintage cars. The app is called the Classic Car Guide, and it is even regularly updated with new sales of old cars.
For a beginner, this may be a valuable resource, but for an old timer, it might be useful only in terms of the car sales that the app records in its database. Cars are cars, and an Android app is nowhere near the rush of getting near a vintage 1953 Corvette and feeling that engine purring, even if you are standing outside the car. Most aficionados would much rather get their fingers greasy than tapping them against Gorilla glass in the first place.
But it can be a useful tool for a muscle car dealer, especially for advertising. An Android app definitely spreads the word around, and if you are often on the list of sellers on the Android app, you can get some mileage out of it. But that is supposing that the app can get its act together and get the attention of the old timers, who are your target and niche market. But beginners will do.
