Did you ever check the Hudson-Essex-Terraplane club for parts leads? They're supposed to be a pretty good outfit. -Dave
A bit more on topic... Golden Era Cars are eminently drivable, it's just that they require a different set of skills than modern cars. ... Modern cars are like appliances, and have about as much charm and style as a pop-up toaster ... If there is one over riding reason to own and drive a Golden Ear Car it is this: A gentleman or a lady may slide behind the wheel without having to remove their hat.
I was thinking about that Colony Park yesterday, very nice car.
They are loaded with comfort features, and have a great ride to them.
My uncle (since long gone) had the Ford version and it just floated down the road.
The only problem with it? It was the EXACT color and body style of the Family Truckster from Vacation.
Hey, nobody tried to steal it.
I just picked up a 92 Volvo that is my daily driver. To me it's a "new" car. Just as modern in my mind as anything on the new car lot.
I would tend to agree with you, and might even be willing to to concede that the "modern car" really dates from 1955 (the year when power steering, power brakes, and automatic transmissions, became universally available, with few exceptions, on passenger cars made in the United States).I tend to think cars finished evolving into a reliable, mature technology some time in the 1980s. Virtually all innovation since then has been focused toward safety, emissions, and efficiency under increasingly stringent government regulation.
