Re: Which cars are going to restored in the future
Really intriguing thread!
My earlier comment was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but the basis is that I just don't see much in the way of innovation or originality in cars that have been produced since the early seventies. That is, with the possible exception of electronics and engine design. Neither of which has the kind of appeal that new cars once did.
There just doesn't seem to be the excitement that cars once held. When was the last time you anticipated the unveiling of a new car year? Ironically, about the cars that ARE being anticipated are remakes of the ones we grew up with!
The automobile has passed from being an object of desire (!) to a basic necessity. And there's a certain cookie-cutter feel that cars have these days; they all look alike to me. And with gas prices going up, who knows what kind of effect that's going to have on the love affair we once had with cars?
