Sorry my friend, but you gotta get with the times. Today's cars beat
ANYTHING produced in the era in which you refer, hands down, and will KEEP
YOU SAFER in ANY wreck than the boats of old, producing the best mileage
ever known, with the most horsepower. Yeah, you're right, it was hard to
tear up the bumper on my Dad's 60 Desoto, but at 8 mpg, I can't even
imagine
going backwards just to get that big chrome bumper.
