Those cars weren't classics yet back then. They were popular, old parents cars that were considered to be kinda past their prime and suitable to be ruined by wasteful, rude, not respectful children. 57 chevy were sort of common in the Belair configuration and IIRC, recieved the eye roll when the keys were passed along. 49 mercs were only fit to be driven by immigrants. Bugs were popular but only for cheapskates or die hard DIY, later on, hippie freaks that wouldn't mow the lawn (but for the same reason).

How many packards do you see today, or hudsons? How about old rolls royce? 37 dodge or '50 buicks with the chrome toothy front end and crap brakes?

freebeard: don't help with lots of pictures.
