Classic and collectible vintage cars are a nice compliment to the daily new driver. It has its merits. Very refined, swift and great amenities. I really enjoy putting the top down on a fully restored classic vehicle. Admire the design, performance and heritage. Both my dad and my grandfather had a passion as well for both new and vintage. All of us have worked very hard and find the car hobby enjoyable and relaxing. My wife sometimes shares your sentiment. She would much rather drive newer vehicles. But recognizes it as a healthy outlet. Most everyone I know has newer cars if they have an older classic. Even driving a lot with work, I still think of taking my older ones out during the day. I even still enjoy opening the garage doors to admire and enjoy just looking at them if I don’t have time after work. After working all day it’s nice to see and enjoy both a home and vehicles you worked hard for. It’s nice to look at your paper investments, but nothing like having really fine, earlier era vehicles to actually take out. And are escalating in value.

Everybody likes the newest greatest thing. If that’s your passion, drive what you like. Buying older, I would rather wait and buy a desirable collectible model. My one son started out on Mustangs. Bought, restored and flipped 5 of them. Plentiful, popular, easy to work on, fun to drive, and great parts and club support. Obviously not this review car, but the comment came up on older cars being undesirable. They can are fun. They provide a lot of personal satisfaction, especially if you have done a nice restoration. Winning a first place trophy on your first showing after completion is really a great feeling.
