As much a work of art as it is a car. Man I miss the days when cars were built for style comfort and performance. Now it’s “how do we make a car that’s in compliance with Government mandates that people will still be willing to buy or lease”?

“As much a work of art as it is a car.” They still build such cars and they are light years ahead of what they built in the 20’s and 30’s. Only the 1 percenters of the day could afford them, as is true now with McClarens and such. However for $29,000 you can now buy a lot of well engineered cars that nearly everyone can afford. Good old car days were only for the very rich. My grandfather was a chauffeur so I know what it was like from his pictures and stories. He drove a Duesenberg and a 16 cylinder Cadillac.
