The average age of my cars is 38.3 years old.
1957 Bel Air, 1967 Camaro, 1997 Plymouth Voyager
The two older cars are easier and cheaper to maintain and I can readily get parts. I eat it on gas mileage, but I’m working on that. My calculations are that I break even given the lower maintenance expense and no payments.
The 1957 Bel Air is an absolute tank. They REALLY don’t make them like that anymore. If I need to fix something, I just get a sledge hammer and my $100 Harbor Freight welder and voila!

Got rid of the 1993 Caprice Classic wagon and replaced it with a 1980 JEEP Cherokee.

No use for new cars...That’s the large and small of it.

I'd guess that sitting in it is like sitting on your mom's sofa.

I can relate! Here is my vehicle run-down:
99 Toyota Corolla (they are bulletproof!)
93 Ranger (ditto!)
79 Ford F-250 4WD (indestructable!!)
67 GTO (sucks fuel, goes fast, looks great!)
47 Dodge 3/4 ton pickup (will haul as much weight as the Ford)
I am all set!

I'm jealous of you 67 Camaro....always wanted one.
Guy Feiri (sp?) has a sweet red ragtop late 60's camaro he uses on his show "Diners Drive-ins and Dives". That is exactly the color and option I would want.
