Sometimes, a little dose of nostalgia goes a long way. This is why we like listening to old songs we used to listen to when we were younger. This is also why our eyes light up whenever we see a car that looks like the one your old man used to drive, or that old ice cream truck that used to pass by your old home every Saturday morning. Everybody wants a hit of nostalgia every now and then. This is the driving force behind the people who run Vintage Motors.

If you go and check out Vintage Motors, you will be taken into the world of yore. No, they don't have that stiff museum feel that other Instagram accounts with old cars have. Instead, it turns you into a little child that is taking his/her sweet time in the toy store looking for the perfect miniature car to take home. Maybe it's the way the photos are presented. Pictures are taken side-profile while the cars are idled or parked. To some extent, they look like the covers of some toy car box.

Browsing the uploads from @vintagemotors feels like taking a trip down memory lane. The side-profile images of cars ranging from a 1982 Porsche 911 to a 1954 Morris Commercial Ice Cream Van really makes you remember the olden days. And there's no "you can look but you can't touch" feel that you get from museums. These are old, eccentric cars, but cars you feel like still get used on the street.
