Remember?

Another Gen Xer, woohoo! We tend to be a forgotten group, shoehorned between Boomers and Millennials.

It's funny what people look fondly at. I've observed in my years that if there is a thing, there will be a group that loves that thing and collects it. I love talking to those folks about their passion. While I'll never own a '30s hotrod or a built pro-touring street/drag machine, but I do enjoy talking to those that are passionate about them. And while I have little nostalgia for the cars of my high school years, if I saw a mint Chevy Celebrity station wagon somewhere (I learned to drive in one) I'd stop and have a good long look.

Our definitions of "classic" may all be different, and I find that I enjoy those differences.

Amen, I've recounted before how there is a guy at our cruise nights with a mint diesel chevette - classic? probably not but unique absolutely and he loves it and loves the reaction it draws. I read Hemmings Classic Car magazine and have read one of the columnists proposing a Celebrity Wagon as an affordable entry into the hobby.

Certainly I am excited by radwood cars if for no other reason than that anything that brings next generations into the hobby is a good thing.

(even gen Xers )
