John: I'm just two years older than you. I'd almost give my right arm to have the economics of the 50s, 60s and 70s back. One of the most prosperous eras in rural North America. It didn't matter if your car only gave 20mpg or how long it lasted. My dad milked 25 cows in the 50s, raised 5 boys and bought a new Chevy every two years. He also bought 4 new tractors and his first hay baler, and built a new barn. In those three decades your very cheapest transportation was a new Ford, Chevy or Dodge every two years, and yes probably 100% built in North America. That is exactly why we were well off. Then someone raised all these cheap Bas#$%2, that thought if they could buy off shore, for less money and live in ultra luxury. What it will ever take to get them to catch on we all need to make money.
