Should I get a classic car as my first car?

I’m 21 and considering getting a classic car like 1950s cadillac as my first car. I want to use it everyday which I’m not sure if that’s realistic. I also live in a desert where it gets extremely hot, especially in summer, and although I’ve seen a lot of classic cars in my city, I’m not sure how well older cars can handle that kind of climate.

I’ve always loved classic cars and the look of it, and I don’t really like modern cars. However, I have zero knowledge about cars; I don’t know about maintenance, engines, or anything technical but I’m willing to learn. I have so much doubts about this, but a part of me is still drawn to the idea of it. Should I go for it and is this something I can manage as a beginner?
