He was right with saying the height of “CLASSIC” car engineering was the late 60s. Meaning a earlier “classic”, not today. Did you guys not read that?
Lastly I prefer driving my classic far more than my modern ones. Very high restoration, but mostly it’s a real incredible rush to drive. Far simpler with more driver participation. The cocoon isolated driving experience in my modern ones cannot compare. Mainly being far more swift, insulated road feel, advanced ride control, and more graphics and amenities.

Styling is absolutely subjective and therefore not a basis for comparison. Room? Yeah, the older cars had slightly more room. They certainly ought to, considering how huge they were overall. They were also heavier, which made for a smoother ride -- and crappier handling than modern cars.
Finally, the whole claim of older cars being more reliable has no factual basis. Your anecdotal evidence is not proof of anything.
