Remember when you could order a car with any of 7 motor transmission choices. The windows cranked down and you had rubber mats on the floor. When you opened the hood you couls see the ground beneath and all of the spark plugs?

Today you can get you choice of colors.

Todays cars are so loaded up with crap and garbage that they cost a ton of money.

Heated seats, tv on the back of the seats, electric mirrors.

Take me back to the old basic automobile.One that I can afford.

That’s why I bought and am reconditioning a ‘57 Bel Air. I can repair almost anything on her for much cheaper. I can afford to customize it to the hilt. It’s value will go up with time and it is paid for. Plenty of room and panorama windos. No smog test. I’m tired of fixing newer cars.
