I guess I'm kind of a contrarian, or maybe it's the fact I grew up driving that stuff. Other than for a little trip down memory lane, I just don't see the appeal of most of the car from the 50's and 60'. I mean they just plain had lousy steering, brakes, handling, seats, build quality, you name it. In addition they're death traps in an accident. A Ford Focus is a better handling, nicer driving car than all but a handful of that old stuff and it'll out perform and lot of the so called muscle/sports cars of the day. I owned a '65 Mustang when it was just a used car. It was an okay car by the standards of 30 years ago, but I wouldn't pay two cents to drive one now. The garden variety "muscle" car of the day (396 Chevette/GTO/Roadrunner etc) did a 15 second quarter and 0-60 in 7.5/8 seconds the way it came from the factory. A Saab Aero will do about the same and handle and stop and is safe along with good gas mileage. For the outrageous money these cars bring, there's just too many modern cars I'd much rather have-sorry.
