I don't appreciate the new cars compared to the old ones. I'll take an old one over a new one any day of the week. All you do with a new one is drive it from the dealer and bring it to the show - no work/effort done to it.
I appreciate the older ones because someone has to have taken good care of it, or has put alot of blood sweat and tears in it putting it back together correctly. That is what I admire. The quality of the workmanship and effort that it took to "bring it back to life" from an old "hulk" of metal.
