I hope I don't offend anyone. Cars to me since I could recognize them were fun to me. By 9 years old I was helping at the station. I have a degree in History, and these cars to me are just another book with a story. I don't collect them because they are fast, or good looking. I look at the year, and remember what was Important that week, that year. When I open the door of the shed, I see a collection of Mopars that started out with different families, lives, and futures. And now they are all together in one shed. They may have started out in different places, but the wound up here at this time and place. I think it is Important for people to remember where they came from, and how their grandparents and parents helped them be here today. Cars helped people live, and I see them as a window to the past.
That is why I like cars that resemble their original looks, characteristics, and performance as close as they were to then. Nothing more, nothing less. Everyone else can race, or whatever. there is room for everyone.
Sorry, I just fell off the soapbox. My dad said it totally different in 1962: a car is a hunk of metal that sure beats a Horse and Buggy. No more, no less.
