Which country in the whole world is into cars and antique cars close or exceeds the United States per capita with cars? I could be wrong as it was a long time ago when I heard this from credible sources and have never been there.

Clue: Country's name starts with an "I" -- T

I understood it was Iceland! That could have changed or was wrong but i recall seeing ads and parts wanted in some old antique car mags I used to get and was a bit surprised.

Switzerland would be a good guess too as I think they are a wealthy country and I was there once and surprised again at how many full size American Luxury cars were in Geneva anyway. The streets are so narrow that I wondered how they got those cars around? Just fun, T

I was stationed in Germany while in the military and was surprised to see a lot of American muscle cars there. I had an original 1967 chevy camaro convertible [ 327, 4-speed] and we even used an old air strip for a dragstrip for our club and our christmas tree and lights and equipment. friend of mine had a vega wagon with v-8 and we went together and had a 1967 chevy wagon [ 12second strip car]. you could even find parts for 1955 chevys , buicks, etc.

I thought Brits came second to America when it comes to classic cars, since they do produce some of the most-loved classics (or at least are in a continent where these are produced). Iceland? Never expected that. LOL.
