Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: Crusher Alert/1000+ cars/Georgia

You said exactly what I was trying to say Tom. I would love to have a nice 1960 Comet with a 144 two speed automatic in it sitting in my driveway. Not because it was a great car. I think I could have out ran it on foot from the take off but that was my car in high school. Your right about our Gremlins. People look at mine at car shows all the time. Not because it is the best looking car at the show or that they are impressed with the big 232 sitting under the hood. They look at it because they either owned one or their best freind had one and it brings back memories. So I agree with you in 30 or 40 years these kids will want the rice burners. The ones they either owned or the ones they dreamed about

Hate to tell this but you are wrong - not trying to pick an arguement, but people relate to what they grew up with - Think about that - that is the reason that 90 percent of you are in love with your AMC products - Just like I like those and the Kaisers - it's what we knew when we were teenagers that sticks with us. My neighbout had a 37 McLaughlin Buick Century Coach with sidemounts - Always admired that car and would love to have one someday - but how many relate to that??? very few except perhaps true enthusiasts, and anyone who was familiar with them way back when. How many of to-days youth know what a 51 Ford Coupe or a 51 Merc. Coupe was, or have any desire to own one???? but ask them about something to-day that is common, and they relate to it. How may of you have any desire to own a Model"A"??? not many I would guess, but if you had one when you were a kid, I bet you would like to have one now. History repeats - and a lot of the old timers who owned those old wrecking yard understood that, and those that are left are doing well with them.

They will never have the same class and respect the old cars had and have today. To me cars stopped being cars in the early 80's.

You know this sounds stupid but in the year 2050 those 2000 Focuses, Malibu's, and whatever car you see everywhere will be a collector's items and rare as can be
