Yeah those old 50's cars were so great-had rust holes you could put your fist through within 3-4 years, paint you had to wax every month to keep it nice, had to have complete expensive $$$ tune ups every 6 months, tires lasted 15k miles at most-more like 10-12k miles.
Don't get me wrong. I love old cars and am currently restoring one but they don't hold a candle to the new cars in terms of safety, driveability or just about anything else. The only thing the old ones had going for them was looks.
I just traded in a 2004 Oldsmobile 194,000 miles. Other than one battery, brakes and regular oil and air filter changes never had it tuned up. Still had original plug wires etc-even the spark plugs. It ran like a top why mess with it?
Never waxed the car once but washed it regulary-paint shined just about like new due to clear coat.
Now tractors on the other hand-I think the new ones made today will never last like their grandfathers.
