That is true, but that does not automatically mean that other vehicles of that era were no good. The fact that a vehicle like that which was first made in 1938 was in production so long and is still driven today is pretty remarkable. That alone is a testament to how good a vehicle that old really is. Also there are some other good example such as the C and K series trucks Chevy made. Now I am not saying that all of the old vehicles were great. However I still feel they were better since there are those that have stood the test of time due to their popularity. Also I seriously doubt in the future we will see vehicles that are thirty to fifty years old or so still being driven in such numbers that are new today like the old Beetle, C, and K vehicles are. That right there says to me that those cars and trucks must really be something
