I really enjoy finding new auto communities. I know there are literally thousands of auto-related websites and forums on the internet, so I thought it might be helpful to start making a list of the most popular classic car forums. How is this for a list? Did I miss any? Let us know in the comments. Also, if you would like to contribute descriptions or any additional details/structure to this list of forums, I would be happy to add your contributions!
