Car makers just don't get it. All they have to do is make a classic from the past with newer updated engine and safety features. I'd be allll over one!
Thanks Signaholic, mikielikesigns2 and tommy1002 for checking this out and lovin it.
Your right Signaholic, they did do the Mustang, Challenger and Camaro but they should do some 50's cars and early 60's and not change anything except engine and chassis update and safety update, bring back the chrome and colors.
I'd be all over a Plum Crazy Purple, old school body, updated 392 HEMI Challenger. That's 470 horses folks, out of the box!
EJW, that WOULD be great, but could we still afford to buy a "made buy PEOPLE" , (who had pride in there work) car. Bigger question is could the car mfg.s handle only putting out hundres instead of thousands of unit a day? And, the examples youve posted have been around over 60 yrs. , u could store em OUTSIDE, but they would (eventally) rust . The up-side of the new cars is the plastic & glue companys are doing quite well now. Lessens the need for real metal. How would the insur. co.s survive? They wouldnt be able to "total" every car that bumped into anouther car.
