Default Car is a floater

Good evening Barners,

It's been awhile since I've posted but thought I'd throw this one out and see what kind of replies I get!

What makes an old car feel like it's floating when you drive it at highway speeds?

My 56 Vicky has always seemed like a floater and you have to stay on top of things when driving, but this weekend I decided to move the rear tires to the front and front to back because I have had a bumping and trying to see if it's a rear tire.

Anyway, I took it out for a drive and it is really floating. You have to stay right on top of things while driving.

Just wondering what makes an old car do this? The shocks on the rear look fairly new but not sure about front.

I am not saying that it has gotten worse and maybe it's just because I haven't driven the car in a few months..

Thanks in advance.

Kevin
