” Hot rods and high end custom cars were the realm of young people and teens. “

And I repeat, 85 cent per hour bought you a date in your daddy’s family sedan.

Man, you clearly did not live in S. CA in the 60s/70s era. Btw, I never went on dates in the family car.☺ My first car was a 1941 Harley 90" Flathead side valve, featuring a ridged frame, no rear suspension. It was in 4 boxes and I got it dirt cheap back then. Took 3 months, rebuilt/fixed it up and nick named it the stump puller. Today that bike in near original condition would be worth probably in the area of 60K. Even in 4 boxes, today it would be out of the reach for most young folk.
