Not a good sign when a people starts looking back instead of looking forward.
Cars were simply better then. When you wanted more power, you worked on it yourself, adding parts that you wanted. Now, you need to go to the dealership and have them hook up a computer.
These car will have limited appeal, mostly to histical car buffs and restoration hobbyists. There's always been a market in classic car restoration and with the passage of time, there's fewer and fewer of these originals left in restorable condition. Kudos to Ford for seeing this market and filling it --and with better quality steel, rustproofing and tolerences to boot!
My hobby is guitars. Virtually all the major guitar and amp manufacturers from Gibson, Fender and Marshall offer point-by-point reproductions of their classic gear from the 50s and 60s in addition to their modern lineup. There's a market for this stuff and consumers willing to pay a premium.
People have always looked backward to classical designs.
Ummm, in this case it's good. Wish FORD would put out the whole car - lots of us don't do backyard tinkering...
......Not a good sign .....
Actually the move is brilliant. There are tons of old men retired and near retirement that will relish the good ol’ days and a new Mustang
