I don't have a vintage car myself, but there is nothing quite like the iconic appeal of the cars from the 50s and 60s. They had real character and uniqueness. You could easily tell the various makes at a glance. What an automotive era it was. Way back in the 60s, I did own a 1962 Ford Falcon and later a 1967 Chevy Impala. Great cars.
Best wishes and enjoy the ride!
