Car Collector - An iOS/iPhone App for Classic Car Enthusiasts

Car Collector is an iOS app designed for car people. It uses the unparalleled 33,000+ vehicle database from Classic Car Database to provide detailed and accurate information for American-made vehicles from 1910 through 1975.

  • Enter VIN

    Search by VIN

    VIN-expertise from the premiere online VIN decoding source, Decode This is used to provide decoding services to the app. Simply type in a VIN for most post-war vehicles to look up that car's data.

  • Search by name

    Search by Name

    Don't have access to the VIN? Enter as much information as you have into the search box: year, make, model. We'll provide a list of vehicles that closely matches the information you provide. Narrow your search down quickly and efficiently with Car Collector.

  • Search by year

    Lookup by Year

    An alternative to the search box is the "Lookup Vehicle by Year" option. This lets you "drill down" to find a vehicle of interest. Simply select the year, then make, then series of the vehicle you're researching. It's a quick way to help narrow down a "mystery" vehicle by seeing all the vehicles produced for a given model year.

  • Detailed information

    Detailed Information

    The data from Classic Car Database includes up to 70 data points on each vehicle. Find out the dimensions, power train, tire size, transmission gearing, even the colors that were available for each vehicle. With over 33,000 vehicles included at your fingertips it's an invaluable tool while shopping at an auction, or even just browsing cars at your local car show.
