Old cars were great because I like simple and they didn't have a bunch of gadgets that constantly break. Air conditioning was rolling down the windows manually. All you needed to tune up a car was a timing light and tachometer, not a high tech diagnostic computer not available to a common person. You could still get manual transmissions. Most younger people today don't have an idea what a clutch and stick shift is? All cars ran on gas or diesel . Self driving cars were a concept in science fiction only. Older cars didn't have electronic locks that inadvertently lock you out. Old cars didn't constantly buzz and beep to remind you of stuff you should already know. And most importantly, older cars had class.
