It's amazing just how good-looking a lot of American cars used to be, when you see them in great condition with the right wheels and good colors. And while they are considered archaic now, they could tow big trailers and they could be fixed at home by a guy with some tools and general sense.
They didn't have to go to the dealer every time some "module" that costs $500 went out and set off trouble codes and put the thing into "limp mode".
I've still got my '55 Chevy, and when I finally went diesel for my truck I kept my old GMC carbureted gas big-block truck. I can't sell it because it ALWAYS runs and it's always there ready to save the day when one of our over-complicated later models fails. It has zero electronics. If the rods aren't through the side of the block, it WILL run.
