To KC John’s point, people appreciate a well executed design and when you show pride in your ride. Lots of variety this morning and many people simply did it their way.

And one C2 over at the VP Fuels booth!....

I had people approach me at every gas fill up or other stop. Most had no idea what year it was and often didn't even know what kid of a car it was. It just goes to show you that people STILL find them eye catching.

All the little kids that scream "Mommy look at that cool car!" and come dragging her over to it must have something wrong with them.

Until they make a car better looking than these old cars, they will always be desirable. With todays designs looking like one another (I can't even tell them apart) I can't see designers ever coming up with something original enough to stand out.
