Default Re: Changing of the Guard. A new breed of car nuts.

Safe to say, the majority of the people who have an appreciation for these early cars in original condition are dwindling every year.
At 68 I grew up with driving manual shift, 4 wheel drum brake, bias ply tires, non-a/c, cars like I'm sure the majority of people on this site.
"Young" people today, say the twenty-thirty-forty age group, grew up, learned on power everything, a/t cars. That is their experience/comfort level of driving.
They may very well like the appearance of these "old" cars, but quickly learn, their driving characteristics, don't resemble anything they're familiar with.
Naturally, their next move would be to replicate their "norm"...I get it.
I'm all for the "next guy" who buys one of my cars, "to make it his own", and to do whatever it takes for him/her to enjoy it, and to keep it on the road.
