Yeah. And if you think about it, old cars aren’t really that old in the lifecycle of internal combustion.
Ford started making the model T in 1908 and didn’t stop until 1927. Shit wasn’t changing too fast early on. Cars didn’t really get competitive until after WWII. Shit didn’t happen during the depression and rations were on during the war. Cars got competitive ( which bred innovation) post ‘45. Then you look at a 69 mustang or Camaro that’s really only 25 years after things really started moving. And after the 70s, when they all got killed for reliability, they really started to push engineering standards.
So the “golden age” muscle cars that gear heads love (because they ****ing rule, let’s be real here) is like owning a Motorola startac. Yes, it was infinitely better than bag phones or the Zach Morris phones but today’s cars are like iPhones.
