I agree with 68.
How can you walk past a 1920-1930's car and think ugliness and other horrible thoughts.

can you tell me what this is? its a 37 Plymouth 2 door sedan. Yes I drove one. You guys are mostly younger and think of handling and speed and streamlineness of a car. You don't think of a 4-40 in the fall going down back roads.
4-40 is 4 windows down at 40 mph.
Thats why i love my caprice I have just enough power to get you in trouble, but you can cruise like no other. take some curvy back roads up north through the forest with the windows rolled down and the heater on low cruising at 30-40. Nothing like it in the world. sure I used to be like you guys floor it around every corner get the tires loose and drift see how fast you can go through the curves. Apex-ing down 21st street. <--- Never do it, I'ts one of the stupidest things you could do!!
21st is a dirt road few people no about around this area thats all dirt and it curves like no other. take a car and go at about 50-80 mph and try to hit the curves like you were racing, while power sliding through them. Yes i did it, and telling you not to do it is very hypocritical, but a lot of us came home with a tree shaped dent in the side of our cars.
I agree we cant live in the past but we have to remember and cherish it.
However, Camino is right the old Model A's are rock bottom, because no one appreciates them any more. no one understands there place in pop culture. They understand the 60's muscle car era and few understand the late 40's to early 60's. The American car is our culture not a transporter and if its your transportation and not apart of your life and your understanding of American culture than why are you not taking the bus?
