These cars 30 years from now will never be classics, because they are not engineered with the hand-craftmanship, styling, or classic feel those older cars had. You have to understand back in those days, cars had their own individual identity (even as far as the way they sounded when they were starting).

Modern cars are not special in any way. Older cars had their own individual styling characteristics - modern cars seem to mock each other. Older cars had that - put down the windows (in some cases pillarless) - let the wind blow in - put your elbow out the window - and cruise in style. Or in the 70s and 80s, pop in your cassette or 8 track, put the windows down or crank up the ice cold R12 AC - then cruise in style and have fun.

These days it's all about useless tech features that are too expensive to repair when they break. These modern cars seem to be engineered for people who lack enough common sense to even drive a car. Back-up cameras, lane change warnings, stabilitrak, oil change reminders... gimme a break. I'm glad I grew up in my era. I have a modern car and an old school. My modern car will never be a classic.
