Maybe I expect too much, but in 2020 you would think the average car would be at least as attractive as they were in 1970's.
I bought a 1966 Corvette convertible in 1970 at the age of 21. Side exhausts, 4 speed, hot, rough ride, no ac, and the only power option was the antenna.

The closest ride to a Harley on four wheels. Not for everyone, but neither is a Harley. I drove it last week at 71. The only difference, tougher for me to get in and out. But, that's on me.

Memories: Priceless.

You wouldn't happen to be in Moultonboro just before the Long Island bridge?
