Default Re: Not much demand for Model As at any price or is it antique cars in general?

I used to teach college and I was amazed that most of my students would not even watch a movie that was made before 1970! They considered it not relevant. My son laughed at me when I told him my 1933 model b had a 50 HP engine. He has a plastic corvette with a 400 HP Hemi! The only things today's generation likes from the 20's and 30's is Al Capone and John Dillinger because they like the violence.
guess im a rare bird...some of my favorite TV watching when i was single digit age was old Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin, Charlie Chan, Buster Keaton and of course The 3 Stooges. Movies of the era are more believable that some of the crap they have out now where the previews are the best parts

I love the music of the era too and of course the whole speakeasy scene. WW1 and WW2 fascenate me too, its interesting to think about what technology we would NOT have today if WW1 and 2 didnt happen.
