True, most people want newer cars. At the moment, our vehicles are 20, 16, and 14 years old, with no plans to get rid of any of them soon. I have only owned two new vehicles, both work trucks (the 14-year-old is one of them). The oldest car I owned was a 1969 VW van that I bought in 1987 and sold in 2004 (wish I had kept it).
I don’t count the 1957 Ford Skyliner that I inherited from my father, because it never ran while I had it. I finally sold it when we moved last year.
I would’ve taken the ‘57 Ford! I love those!
Parents’ ‘79 Lincoln rotting away now for 20 years. I love them, grew up on them but also lots of sentimental family value. I don’t know what todo. 2 people have offered for it just working at my parents’ house which I refused. Dad was getting impatient with me to do something. He died 2 years ago this week RIP. Mom loves the cars more than dad so I don’t hear it from her.
I also wish I had thought more about my Grandpa’s Cadillac (c ‘56) when we sold their house (they were still alive). Wasn’t as into cars yet and certainly not old enough. But maybe could’ve begggggeeed them to keep it!
