Can I mod you -1 Wishful Thinking? Today's vehicles are so much better than just about anything made in the 1960's that can be measured. For instance dependability, durability, handling and performance. The only thing that stuff from the 60's gets is a big nostalga factor. I owned two 1960's era vehicles, a 1970's truck, two 1980's truck, a 1990's car, a 1990's truck and a 2000's car. With the exception of the car each successive vehicle has gotten better.
My 1998 truck has 186,000 miles on it and all I've had to do to it was replace the alternator (about $80 and 45 minutes). The 70's truck was on it's third engine by this mileage. Both 60's era vehicles were on their second or third transmission and their second engine. I got rid of the 90's era car at 137,000 because things seemed to be wearing out at about the same time and were about to come due.
Today's vehicles are the best I've ever seen with regards to measurable features. They don't have the soul of the older stuff but they also don't have the demons either.
