To take part of the response,...yes I got my license in '64. I agree... to me the early cars of the 30', 40's were in general not anywhere near style wise what the cars were of the 50's, 60's,70's,..Those later ones are the cars I mentioned as to what people waited eagerly to see in the fall. Now take a 32 Ford and make a rod out of it, then I beg to differ!!

I admit to being an old fart. 70. I do not see many cars built today that have any styling, just a vary, vary few. Car companies work long and hard to put more "technology" in them for the sake of higher prices, and meeting the demands of modern buyers. ie... Your generation an later.... I am not a modern buyer!!!!! I could not afford one, an IF I had that kind of money, it sure as hell would not go for a new car!!!
