A 55 chevy may be a classic and easier on  the eyes but aint no way in
hell
was it better made or as dependable as a modern day car. A 55 chevy at 75k
miles would have gone through 3 mufflers, 3 carb rebuilds, countless plugs
and points, shock replacements, axle seals, engine leaks and other
failures.
Todays cars are much more dependable even though extremely boring to look
at
right down to the colors.
