When my grand father passed away he left me 3 older cars. A 74 buick electra with 20,000 mi, a 1955 cheve truck (very weathered but with good engine), and a 1943 buick roadmaster with 60,000 original mi in mint condition(all parts original).I am currently driving the electra but i wish to sell it. In fact i want to sell them all except maybe the roadmaster. At any rate i need to know the value of the vehicles as well as the best place to sell them.
Hemmings Motor News, on sale at most bookstores like Barnes and Nobles. It lists almost every make, and is a great resource. It is also a great way to sell the cars you mentioned.
How do you determine the value of classic cars and how do you sell them?

Look at car websites and use the Kelty Blue Book.

well the best thing to do is contact the local ar clubs for old cars in your area , then do some reserch on how rare they are but the club should tell ya what the basic value of them is in your area , take lots of photos to show them , but its going to be most worth it to the person who wants one , so watch ebay and see what they go for or if u can find one even

You can check values at http://www.manheimgold.com
but you must first of all read the section on "condition".
The ’74 Buick isn’t worth much, maybe $5,000-$6,000 if it were a knockout show car, and the ’55 Chevy truck depends a lot on the model, condition of the body and interior. A ’55 "Cameo" pickup is worth something even beat-up, but a regular beat up ’55 Chevy truck, not so much.
There is no such car as a 43 Buick.
I’d sell the Buick on eBay and the truck just locally on your local craigslist or local paper. Old pickups are easy to sell if they run.
40s cars are not easy to sell. I think for the Buick I’d place an ad in Hemmings Motor News.

Don’t worry about the value of the car. What is it worth to you, what is the bottom dollar you’ll take. Set a price and sit on it somebody will pay for it.

look in the phone book for a local appraiser,(that does classic cars). Try a classic or vintage car trader magazine= news letter found in most convenient stores.
