Todays cars are a lot better built than those, but those cars have a hell
of 
a lot more character. Even the scenery of the old cars crusing the streets

back then seem to have more character and color. Todays cars are just
boring 
right down to the dull metallic finishes. Those cars remind me of WW2 
fighter planes, not very fuel efficient, and little ruff around the edges 
but cool  and they got the job  done.
