They should stick to the drag strip.
What makes you say that?
It’s fortunate that the old man suffered only minor head injuries.
I would have thought that the modern pizza delivery vehicle would have sustained more damage than an antique car.
Why shouldn’t they be on the road?
Why not??
You know not what you speak about. I own many antique cars and they are just as safe as the junk Obama Motors is forcing people in. If this fossil was tooling around in his Smart car he may not have survived the incident.
Where would you have people drive them?
Most in-town traffic doesn't exceed 35 MPH, and some of those old cars could do 120 new or fully restored.
A lady here drove a Ford B model, bought new, until she died.
She cut a deal in the '60s with the Ford dealer in town who wanted to buy it from her, that if they maintained it (free), they could have it after she was gone.
They kept it in tip-top shape, and she drove it the rest of her life (another 30+ years). She didn't want a new car, because the old one was extremely good in snow (high clearance), and she didn't want to learn how to drive all over again (set the spark advance, etc.). In sevaral decades she was never involved in so much as a fender bender, and the automobile was meticulously maintained.
When she passed on, the dealer got the car.
I guess the socialistic dream world frowns on people being creative? Everyone must have the same box with wheels, the same color, electric powered, GPS tracked for taxation and lastly having Onstar so “big sis” can keep an ear on everyone?
All the right reasons to own an antique car or truck, because it pisses the Fed off!
My neighbor drives his every day. He has three.
Another thing too. You don't just hop in one and go. You have to know HOW to drive a model A.
We were coming north on I65 yesterday and saw some. One was on the road instead of on a truck. That car was doing 75 or 80. We could not believe how fast it was going.
