Retro Auto

Greetings, Vintage Fans and Old-School Stuff Acolytes!

You can probably imagine that this here interior I've peeked into through the side glass was at some point in history...a peak. A space of class and wealth, a dream to the average consumer, a new industrial achievement.

You can also probably imagine that in a way it might still be so to the owner who had it for the past perhaps forty or fifty years. The memory of its past glory must still creep up in the nostalgic mind of whatever aged person still has ownership of a relic of another era.

You can probably guess the reasons one would not abandon it lightly. And in a way, rightfully so. Many models of cars that came after it were later discarded, some of them even lasting less than a decade.

They simply don't make stuff as they used to make it before, now, do they?

I don't know about back then but it feels complicated now, owning a car. Or even not quite owning it but leasing it while bearing quite a lot of responsibility for it either way.

I live in the land of too many cars and too few people. Too many new and expensive cars and too much debt. I guess...

Cars used to be rare. But less expensive. When I was a kid, I could play on the street without worrying too much about traffic. A car would pass every half an hour or so, just a quick time-out and then our bricks were back in the street and the match would resume.

Good old times...
